Original WWII Japanese Navy Officer P1937 Kai-Gunto Katana Sword with Scabbard - Matched Number 76 French Holster transferred to the Navy onOriginal Item: Only One Available. Purchased recently from a collector, this is an excellent wartime production Japanese Naval officer Katana in the Pattern 1937 Kai Gunto setting. A Kai Gunt (, naval sword) is a weapon and symbol of rank used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the WWII Period. This is a great example, complete with scabbard, and shows little sign of use. The blade is in excellent condition, with an edge which is still quite sharp.
