weyland Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 My friend gave me 2 old swords he got from someone who got them from Philippines during WW2. He wants me to sell them on EBay for him. One looks like a type 95, according to wikipedia, the other one has only one identifying mark on it, as far as I can see, an "M," or a "W," inscribed in a diamond shape quadrilateral, or it could be 2 humps, the Chinese character for mountain or hill. Or it could be something else. Any ideas? Thanks for the help! Quote

ironron Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 How about some images of the other sword? Quote
weyland Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Posted February 7, 2011 Curious about the symbol next to the three circles - it looks odd, for an ideogram... And there's another character at the end of the serial number, which is hard to see. It looks like the band is copper, and some brass, but what is the handle composed of? I think this is an NCO's sword, a type 95, according to Wikipedia. Pretty common, judging from the serial number. Quote
