Japanese style carved bone/ivory tonto, circa approx. 1890 – 1930. The scabbard is nicely carved with figures of samurai and nobles, dragon handle, and dragon tail at tip. The carving is signed with 3-character signature at front. The polished bone scabbard and handle is in good condition, carving is fairly sharp. The blade is artificially tempered, approx. 7-1/2” in length, in samurai style, but not true Japanese. These decorative swords were made for merchants and export about the turn of the century, and this one is above average quality. Est: $750 - $1,500
