Mais tout le plaisir est pour moi Jean. NMB is a great place with lovely people ready to help and share their knowledge. I don't want to be seen as rude Regards, Axel N.

Hi Jean, Thanks for the head-up. Sorry dealing with other platform in Europe and it's forbidden to put name or surname in the signature, or at least not recommended. Anyhow I will update my signature. Best Regards Axel N.

Happy New Year to All ! I was not expecting my post to bring such interesting debate on the right terminology. Not sure which one is the right but it's true that in europe these piece are mainly called dagger despite they are due to their shape more a dirk I guess. I have a few other pictures of this dagger/dirk/tanto So I am sure that would help to confirm if it's a genuine one. The scabbard is in lacquered leather. The grip is made of black lacquered shagreen. The blade doesn't seem to be plated but I could be wrong. Everything looks genuine to me but happy to get feedback. Thanks IMG_8082.HEIC

Hi @drb 1643 I attached one picture of the blade. Do you think it's genuine? Thanks

Once again thanks in advance for your help here.

Hi All, It's a dagger not a sword but I am wondering if I can get any help from this forum. I am based in Europe and these pieces are not so common in our region. The reseller is telling me that's a Japan Railway Dagger from WW2. Based on the minimum info I got it looks correct to me, but I am wondering if the dagger is really genuine. Do you know if Chinese/Indian copies of these daggers exist? Any guidance or advise would be welcome. here I am attaching a few pics (I will have to send them by several messages due to the size). Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks all for your confirmation. I was feeling something was not right. Thanks a lot for your help here.

I would need them to withdraw. Thanks in advance.

Thanks vajo. Could you give me some amunition? And explaination? That woud be rgeat.
