Shogun TV Series Samurai Sword
This is a Samurai sword used during the production of the 1980 epic mini-series Shogun, starring Richard Chamberlain and Toshiro Mifune. In the series, a shipwrecked English navigator John Blackthorne (Chamberlain) is thrown in the midst of a war between two men struggling for supremecy and the title of Shogun. This full size Samurai sword is incredibly detailed, with extreme care taken to make this as realistic as possible. The scabbard is red enamel coated with subtle black paint flecks, with a brass and black leather handguard, and black string for decoration. The tempered steel blade is professionally forged and somewhat sharp, with a very pointed tip. The handle is tightly woven red fabric wrapped around a faux ivory and brass handle. The blade fits snugly into the scabbard. A really beautiful and collectible prop from one of the most anticipated television series of its time. Comes with COA. (measures approx. 39" long). Oversized item. Additional postage required.
