Unknown swords

Recommended Posts

I got a bunch of swords in an auction and don't know much about them other than they're Japanese probably WWII era. Looking for some info. Authentic or fake. Several have markings on the tang or elsewhere. I'll start with a few. I apologize for the pics they don't seem to be loading in the order I chose them. Should be 4 swords total in this post.IMG_20221230_135622074.thumb.jpg.22ce8ed01b7f106d54d0a1393aaf2b95.jpgIMG_20221230_141015803.thumb.jpg.6702898739958c9c4ba5690dd6562637.jpg

Brian,

welcome to the NMB forum!

The photos are a bit foggy and not detailed enough to say much, however the tangs you are showing seem to be of non-Japanese blades. It is always a good thing to show blades (without HABAKI, that is the brass collar piece) tip-upwards. That is the way the signature can be read.

The TSUBA seems to be an authentic one. 

I cannot comment on the saber or the mountings; our militaria experts will do that with more competence.
