drb 1643 Posted August 7, 2023 Report Posted August 7, 2023 Here’s an unusual sword that just sold on eBay and I was wondering who exactly it was issued to. I’ve never seen another anything quite like this. Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures but they are from the eBay posting. Thank you all very much, Tom Quote
lonely panet Posted August 7, 2023 Report Posted August 7, 2023 The possibility this might be a oddjob or a occupational army sword. I think Korea/Formosa at guess. Typically found on navy swords not army kyu's. So rather special. The guard has similarities to the navy layout too Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted August 8, 2023 Report Posted August 8, 2023 The blade looks to be a standard Murata-To. Quote
drb 1643 Posted August 8, 2023 Author Report Posted August 8, 2023 Yes, I agree that it looks Murata-to and possibly related to Korean occupation. I’ve never seen one quite like it and was hoping someone could definitively identify it. Thanks for your input gentlemen. Tom 1 Quote
