Beautiful commemorative Hwando sword from the Seoul 1988 Summer Olympics. Exclusively issued by the Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee, the elegantly made single-edged short sword measures 27˝ in length from the blade tip to the bottom of the pommel, and both the sword handle and accompanying sheath, 21.25˝ in length, are constructed of wood with inset mother-of-pearl designs; the upper handle bears a single Sam-Taegeuk symbol and the bottom of the blade is stamped "0644." The sword’s pommel and guard, as well as the attractive sheath, bear bronze-tone metal accents and red tasseled cords. Includes its acrylic presentation stand. In fine condition, with the second Sam-Taegeuk symbol missing from the opposite side of the handle.
