CFA Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Hello, I bought this katana at an auction in UK some years ago. Unfortunately there was no documentation attached. I have tried, without any success, to identify the sword. I hope there is someone here that can help me. Thank you very much for you interest in my sword. Quote
Conway S Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Fredrik, The smith is 兼則 Kanenori. There is an article in the NMB downloads section with more information on him. The date is May 1943. Conway 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 You didn't say whether you know or not, but it is a Type 98 Japanese officer sword. The blue/brown tassel was the Company grade for Capt's and Lt's. You can see examples and read about the model on Ohmura's site: http://ohmura-study.net/934.html Quote
