Tsk TSk TSk this is like pushing wet cement up hill

with a pointed stick. :shock:

Do you have any more pic's in better detail of that

naval hat badge on the middle of the scabard, how is it stuck on, Do you think it's been since original

and what about the black paint "laquer" when did that go

on to the saya.

It all appears original. The sayer is black laquer and the naval badges appear to have been affixed at the same time. Unfortuately, photos can't show how original it appears, compared to holding it. Including it's original Aussie owner, this sword has only passed through a few sets of hands. All people involved are known and haven't done anything to it.

Sorry Dave , fancy me thinking you were living in the past

And sorry to all you guys, Dave and I are friends who talk

on a regular basis about all sword goings on around Oz.

I have been playing at the Devil' s Advocate with this sword

which I have known for some time but not owned. At first

it was thought to be a General's sword , this has been disproved.

It is a special order sword for a Mr.Minoru Nokura by Kane Michi

to commemorate 2nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbour.

A little confusion exists about the exact date on the sword.

Now what I've been trying to drag out of Dave is a good description

of the 2 naval badges on either side of the metal saya.

In the hand they are very neatly soldered on. I believe in a Japanese

fashion and the black laquer looks to be very original

Ordinarily I am very sceptical and critical of this type of nonsense

added to Japanese millitary swords and we've all seen it but this looks

and feels original and seems to combine the Army sword with the Navy

Has anybody seen similar? Or care to expand on this interesting sword

 

Alan.
