Definitely originating in Asia and most likely Japanese, this substantial black lacquered sword stick has a serpent carved on the haft, a pineapple like plant on the handle, a face on the grip, a brass collar with a release button and ends in a small brass ferrule. The blade is also a hefty piece of steel seemingly confirming its Japanese origins. The haft has a slight bow and some of the lacquer is chipped and worn away, but generally the stick is in good original condition. Size: Length - 37.5" (95.5cm) Blade Length - 18.5" (47cm) Handle - 5" (13cm) Internal Ref: 40035
