Dear Tanraj, Thank you for the new information and your patience. My sincere apologies for the delay with the apprisal. The presented object appears to be an Imperial Japanese Shin Gunto Ka sword. This type of sword was an official part of the armament of officers of the Imperial Japanese Army in WW II. This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 800 to 1.600 USD. This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, Georg
