  1. Very nice condition early naval pattern dagger!
  2. Finally we see an actual example from that photo! Thanks! Asking price is crazy in my opinion
  3. As a collector of SNLF/NLF ,based on period photos as well as my opinion I believe in the early stages of war in China most carried family or civilian swords slightly modified for combat
  4. New price reduction. $400. includes shipping within USA
  5. You are correct. Thanks and I edited post
  6. Excellent condition bushu Ju Masanaga Tsuba . 2 7/8” diameter. $520. Includes shipping within U.S.A.
  7. Bruce the link describes what’s inside
  8. My friends new book https://www.amazon.com/dp/177753240X/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=rikusentai&qid=1609749253&sr=8-4&fbclid=IwAR1H-YHl7ZMMhXDJ8zu5digXvYx434TLu6qyUUbTityBVWLBGDHQrPvOKus
  9. Sun ray seppas ! Love that premium!
  10. Keep me in mind if you ever let it go. I only collect navy
  11. Beautiful kaigunto! Do you have deluxe tsuba with alternating gold plated rays?
  12. One of the absolute nicest I’ve seen to date! Congrats!
  13. Symbol certainly looks police to me. For a child or a very small cop
  14. Looks like gold paint to my eyes. At best it’s guilding
  15. Congrats! Nice grouping but hard to prove it was all owned by same officer & not post war put together. The rarest item in the “ group” is the scabbard retainer cord on Kai gunto handle! These are very difficult to find
  16. Japanese navy often used black paint in addition to bluing to protect metal. This includes type 99 naval special rifles & bayonets.
  17. I can think of a few scenarios ....he’s a retired soldier or he’s holding a deceased sons sword or the sword is the photographer’s prop
  18. Interesting info.I collect SNLF, NLF & naval land based combat items. I haven’t seen one of these tags yet. Will be on the lookout
  19. I only own one dagger so not me. I was just wondering about these with cast celluloid handles & what info was available
  20. Has anyone else seen a scabbard like this? It’s on a late war celluloid handle variant. Jareth
