Lot 561: A Trio of Decorative Stainless Steel and Cast Metal Edged Weapons
A trio of decorative stainless steel and cast metal edged weapons, comprising a Japanese-style short sword and two smaller daggers. The short sword features a curved blade with a machine-etched zig-zag hamon and a stamped mark on the ricasso reading 440 STAINLESS STEEL. The hilt and scabbard are finished with blue synthetic cord wraps and ornate gold-toned cast metal mounts depicting heraldic avian motifs. The pair of smaller decorative daggers feature narrow double-edged steel blades and cast metal hilts with an antiqued bronze-coloured finish. The crossguards are designed as eagle heads and the pommels bear a cross-in-circle motif. Indistinct marks are present on the ricasso of the dagger blades, and a small shield-shaped mark is visible on the crossguards, though neither is legible as a name.
