    Thank you very much Dwayne and Steve. Would you guys have an approximate time period for this? Tom

    I’m hoping for help in determining the approximate age of this tanto. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much, Tom

    I agree with Chris, the tang definitely looks like it was welded from another sword. Tom

    I bought a copy also. Tom

    Thank you very much Thomas for this information! Tom

    Here’s some pictures of a Murata that I picked up several years ago. I know bad polish! Tom

    Complete fake, run away! Tom

    Yes, John, there is a nice star stamped gendaito by Kaneshige. 1944 Tom

    Here you go Bruce, mon on a Rinji-seishiki. Tom

    Here’s pictures of my two. Tom

    It actually looks like one of the Chinese reproduction swords to me. I would walk away! Tom

    Thank you both for your help. The pictured dirk by Ohmura looks to me to have the same backstrap/pommel as the forestry dirk. The dirk that Jareth posted is definitely different. The post by Nick is excellent! Thanks again, Tom

    Hi Bruce, Yes, the forestry dirks you pictured look just like the Cadet dirk that Ohmura has pictured. Is it possible that Ohmura is mistaken or are they extremely similar? Inquiring minds would like to know! Thank you all very much, Tom

    Hi All, I was looking at Ohmura’s website and he has this listed as a naval cadet’s dirk. I always thought this was a forestry dirk. Can someone please help explain what is correct? Thank you very much for any clarification. Tom

    Here are the pictures as requested Neil. Tom

    Here’s one with the mon integral with the backstrap. Tom

    I'm wondering reproduction? Tom
  18. drb 1643
    Thanks Stegel, Yes, it does look like the same sword you pictured, and I noticed the famous grey blanket. Tom

    Thanks Chris, the blade is not in the greatest condition. No pitting but someone "cleaned" it with an abrasive. Also the front seppa is missing, but I'm still very happy to have it! Tom

    Bruce, here is another one that I just picked up. It needs the front seppa that is missing. Tom

    Hi All, I’m hoping for some information on this type 95. It appears to have a hand forged blade. Notice how there are no serial numbers, habaki or inspection stamps. Has anyone ever seen one like this? Any information will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Tom

    Senior Red Cross dirk, nice fittings. Too bad about the blade. Tom
  23. drb 1643
    Damm Mike, I just saw this and you beat me to it. Beautiful piece, good luck with it. You'll have to bring it to Allentown so I can see it in person. Tom
  24. drb 1643
    Hi Stephen, could you please send me a link to your sale of this tanto? I have been unable to locate it on this forum. Thanks, Tom

    Thanks again Ray. Tom
