Japanese Army KYU-GUNTO Sword

presented in a custom built

acrylic display case

Lt. Col. Frank Sublet DSO MC from the 2/16 Australian Infantry Battalion served through North Africa and the Pacific including the Kokoda Track.

The sword probably came into his possession at the end of the war.

This display was made as minimalist as possible and was constructed as a monocoque with a removable back. The padded silk panels have recessed edges creating a subtle border. Both sword and scabbard have been treated and a protective coating applied. In work of this nature, the mounting techniques take the most time - here they were specially formed using acrylic and manganese bronze,with insulation between the object and mount where necessary. Our standard aims of providing the least possible mechanical interference, the least possible electrical interference and the least possible chemical interference, have been achieved. UV filtering acrylic has been used.
