Have all his RAF papers even his cap still. Don't seem to be any bring back papers that we can see.

My grandad told me when he got this sword, he was one of the last ones to get to them and it was not as good as all the ones that had already been taken. So he was fully aware it did not look as good as the ones that had already been taken by others in his group (RAF 5358 Airfield Construction Wing).

Thanks for your feedback Bruce, what you have said got me looking and I have noticed something else, please see photo attached. Overpaint.

Sorry attached to wrong post.

Thanks for all your feedback guys, I will get this checked out once we are all free to do so. In the meantime if any of you require anymore photos i'm more than happy to take any you require.

Thank you, would be nice to get up to see you all. The sword comes with the story from my grandad. Our son is in the Royal Navy and will be dropping his Pooley sword in for a clean up. He has messaged them to ask if he can drop this one in too for a clean up. He has not had a reply yet.

Thanks for all your help, would like to get it cleaned up either way.

Thank you.

We live 5 miles away from the Royal Armouries in Leeds, would anyone there be able to help?

Here are a couple more photos, I was first shown the sword in 1971 as its been in our family since WW2.

More photos added to original post, hope this helps.

My grandfather did not buy this, it was collected from the pile of weapons when the RAF liberated.
-
I can 100% tell you its genuine and was brought back from Kowloon on Sept 22nd 1945 and we have the paperwork to back this as my grandfather was an RAF liberator. Also have a signed Japanese silk flag and Japanese binoculars.

Thanks for accepting me, my name is Mark from Wakefield in the UK. Im looking for a little bit more information on a WW2 sword I have, please see attached photos, hope someone can help. Its just been brought down from the loft and requires a good clean up. Advise on cleaning would also be helpful.
