Haha that's what I figured guy must have been 8 feet tall I'm about 6 feet and this thing is huge. Could you imagine a Japanese officer 100 years ago dragging a giant sword on the ground. Im not sure if people had been smaller back then like they say and Japanese people most are of smaller stature I do not believe anyone would have been able to wear this on a belt and walk around with it lmao

Jc thanks for that. That's what I figured

Thanks all for having having a look. I've learned here and shall continue to research this model of sword. Any reason why the extra long blade ? It's a pretty mean sword heavy duty

War time I'm guessing machine made blade ?

I did not see anything under handle but will have a better look tomorrow

Bruce it's been awhile 😆 So this would be for army?

Sure here's some https://ibb.co/bRzXrVDY https://ibb.co/jkq17CB5 https://ibb.co/97vJ2yb https://ibb.co/NbZVPCw https://ibb.co/chsLZSSS

Guys it's been awhile since I've been on. I had recently picked up a Japanese sword. I believe is referred as Kyu gunto. ? It is a fairly massive sword with a 35" blade nothing I could find under handle for signature What would the age of this sword be ? I am fairly unfamiliar with this model type of sword https://ibb.co/bjyWnRYx https://ibb.co/7dkHHSj7 https://ibb.co/39Y8GP1y

I am unsure . This ship log is from the USS Dade identification number apa99 attached to 54th division 18th squadron amphibious flotilla Pacific fleet.

Ship logs are full of accounts of shooting down Japanese planes. Making landings dropping marines etc.

Would this be one of those flags u s soldiers would scribble on and sell to each other ?

This came in a large ww2 bring back grouping. A bunch of guns and other items ship logs etc. Stuff has been sealed in a box since 1947

Can anyone help with a translation on a small flag I acquired in a ww2 grouping? Any help is always greatly appreciated

I believe this is the same. Sorry for posting

Here is another the same. Is this the same set and artist? Any help is appreciated very much
