Offered under SKU MGJ972 in the Japanese swords, fittings and firearms category, this is an authentic antique Japanese menuki sold in used condition. The supplier records that it comes out of a well-known collection, and that provenance is the main fact the listing adds beyond the piece itself. The listing does not record a signature, school or period, so the photographs are your record of its form, metal and wear.

Menuki are the small ornaments that sit beneath the hilt wrap on a Japanese sword, and a loose antique example like this one is bought as a fitting, not a weapon. It suits a New Jersey collector who studies sword furniture, a restorer looking to match a hilt, or anyone building a case of tosogu around a named collection. Ask for extra photographs if you need to see the reverse or the underside, because the listing itself gives only the collection provenance and the used condition grade.
