joestuff4 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Posted August 30, 2022 bought this nco sword for a steal wondering about this etching on the scabbard. i’m assuming it’s an acid etching, is anyone able to translate what it says or have any info? Quote
Kiipu Posted August 30, 2022 Report Posted August 30, 2022 It is a start at least. The penmanship style would seem to indicate that someone other than a Japanese wrote it. Ｘ民Ｘ省 @SteveM or @BANGBANGSAN Quote
joestuff4 Posted August 30, 2022 Author Report Posted August 30, 2022 someone on reddit suggested 葵民罰省 & said the same thing it seems as if it was done by a non native Japanese speaker. google translate gives “Ministry of Punishment” Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted August 31, 2022 Report Posted August 31, 2022 Looks to be a legit Type 95, Suya Shoten, gunto though. Quote
Kiipu Posted August 31, 2022 Report Posted August 31, 2022 Yes, the sword is good. @Stegel & @Shamsy Quote
SteveM Posted August 31, 2022 Report Posted August 31, 2022 I think Trystan's got it. ？民國省, but certainly unusual and unskilled writing. Quote
