Item Details

Description

GEN. ROBERT C. RICHARDSON SAMURAI SWORD
Japanese katana sword kept by Gen. Robert C. Richardson as a souvenir of his service in the Pacific, 38 1/2" overall, 28 1/4" blade (to hilt), the blade faultless but for one tiny nick. The tank bears no signature, and the bamboo securing pin is missing, otherwise all original parts are present including original black wood scabbard. In overall very good condition. Sold with a period carbon of a report sent to Richardson from Okinawa, June 30, 1945, a translation of a prisoner's account of the suicide deaths of Japanese generals Ushijima and Cho near the end of the battle for the island. Whether this sword belonged to either of those men is pure speculation.
