Mikebiker Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 The pictures below are from A WWII Officers Sword. The sword has all the standard military fittings with a leather covered sheath. It is not an NCO sword. Thanks for your help! Quote
george trotter Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Hi Mike, We usually try to get members to translate themselves, but in this case it is very hard to read so... to help you, the first three kanji read "Sawa da Kane ... ... ..." (Kane is the rarer one meaning "wrap"). I can't see a Seki or Sho stamp on this sword, but it looks like WWII Seki production. You will probably find some info on him on the military swordsmith links here. happy searching... (give a holler if you have no luck. Sword looks in good condition. Regards, George Quote
