Military sword with wakizashi blade

[Pippo]

Newly arrived, with civilian wakizashi single fullered signed blade, fits well with the mounts and they look to all be put together WW2 period correct. Apologies but my phone keeps rotating phones when i try to upload🤷

Very nice, the Mei look like "Bishu Osafune xxxx" - likely one of the Sukesada smiths. Custom length Type 98 fittings are always interesting, look forward to the rest of the swords if they are half as good as this one.

Retention strap! Mystery solved, reminded me of straps ive seen on antique Japanese purses/ snuff boxes but as this is 2nd ive had knew it most likely issued.

Thanks sooo much. Pip ( got to work out how to lighten photos, grey day in Perth)
