Thank you everyone. It's definitely something very different, and for sure something I had never seen before, it's why i had to have it 🤣. The koshiere with a nice Mon menuki is also a nice touch. I'm suspecting someone spent a good chunk of change to have this all done during wartime (opposed to after). My next question would be is it possible to hunt down Hiraga Morikuni, a search of the forum and he is a bit of a mystery man, I assume it takes some skill to cut down a blade and re-sign it as it is. Thanks again, it's really a fun experience learning about this.

Those are some big names on there. Would that mean it maybe a gimei?

If the kanji is hard to make out I can try and play with the resolutions of the pictures to try and bring it out more if that is helpful.

Hello Everyone, Looking for the full translation on this nice dirk I just picked up! Looking forward to finding out more! Side A: Side B: And a little eye candy: Thank you!

There was nothing else to go off of as reference other than a 2 week old thread. The forum doesn't revolve around your posts, not everyone is going to see that.

That wasn't even in this thread, maybe use the same thread to post about the same seller to avoid confusion.

you use an old slur against Japanese people and then play the victim?

The language in the title is more than enough for me to avoid this user more than the sketchy seller 🤣

Link to thread and my photo with 2 real and one reproduction tassels.

Buyee can be great as there is much more selection and you will find that there are ebay sellers that list items on eBay for 3x as much for the price on buyee, so sometimes you cut out that strange middle man. Obviously there are no returns so you have to be sure what you're buying. Goodluck !

It might be the lighting of the pictures but it looks far to shiny. Similar to a fake I used to have. There are photos of it in a general tassel thread I believe.

I own it, but I would like to hang onto it, is there any pages you would like me to photograph for you ? You can shoot me a DM if you would like.

Here is a tanto

Here is the thread I was talking about https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/31619-generals-tassels/page/2/#comments
