    Years ago a similar mounted sword was briefly in my possession. Had figured it was something good due to the special Koshirae, once the Tsuka came off it was a rather mundane Seki stamped Showato. Curiously it also had two Mekugi-Ana.

    Looks like it was made yesterday. There are other forums for this sort of thing: https://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/forum/ken-jasper-international-militaria-forums/Japanese-militaria-forum/15293369-ija-field-cap-unissued

    Looks closer to Shin Shinto or Meiji.

    Masayuki was active as a smith in Taisho and early Showa, during the period the Type 19 Kyu Gunto was the standard army officers sword. Often you see such threaded Nakago, whether purpose made or altered, on earlier Kyu Gunto or parade swords made during Meiji. If you have further photos of the blade and mounts it would be easier to say for sure.

    This was made by the less seldom seen Nidai Yoshichika. There was some claimed provenance to a Lt Colonel who was a member of the Imperial Guards. Overall a handsome sword.

    Silk will not melt when burned.

    Acetone isn't the best idea for Nihonto, especially one in polish. Sticking with 100% Alcohol is safe.

    Cotton buds dipped in pure alcohol should do the trick.

    Hi David, if you select your name in the top right corner there is a drop down where you can add and edit ignored users:

    It's a clear and poor fake. The only 'good' it possesses is educational value. https://www.jssus.org/nkp/fake_japanese_swords.html

    Absolutely heartbreaking to hear of Jeremiah's passing. Hope he's able to find the perfect Masame Hada in the next journey.

    This doesn't appear to be a retention cord, perhaps some sort of lucky charm or decoration of similar braided silk.

    It was Dale who posted this original vs fake comparison, still hilarious:

    The chain hanger looks far too flimsy to be an original.
