(Materials, etc.)
Scabbard: Iron
Blade: Steel
Handle: Brass with intricately carved double cherry blossom pattern. Material of black part is unknown.

This is a current item where rust has been roughly removed with wet sandpaper from its rusted condition due to age-related deterioration.
The black part of the handle is damaged, and the (old iron tsuba part) is visible.
The blade was sharpened for a few centimeters with an Uchigumori stone and polishing to check the blade's condition, but we cannot guarantee the presence of a hamon (temper line). Please understand this in advance.
As it is made of steel, how about using it for Japanese sword sharpening practice within the scope of replica swords?
Please check the photos and make your decision.
