An interesting video by Paul Martin. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xpxZLmf5pZc

The color is not odd but personally, I doubt if the paint is original. The paint job is very poor. Could you please post some better quality photos?

Thank you very much. Well written and informative.

Hi Sam, Looks like a modified Sam Browne military belt. Take a look at the following site https://www.sellingantiques.co.uk/891189/19th-century-brown-leather-sam-browne-military-belt-by-moss-bros-in-superb-condition Hope this helps. Regards, Ed

My guess a type 94 with the curved tsuka. Sometimes seen on early swords.

Congratulations! Nice sword.

Congratulations John, a very nice sword and a beautiful addition.

Thank you Stephen! That's very kind of you. I have been lucky. Regards, Ed

Hi Volker, I was also thinking of Tsuguhiro. Just by comparing the following blade at uniquejapan.com. It shows a lot of similarities. https://new.uniqueja...tsuguhiro-wakizashi/ I'm by far an expert and maybe other members can jump in. Regards, Ed

Thanks Dee, The length of the nagasa is 64 cm. Regards, Ed

The curved tsuka is in line with the curve of the blade. Gives it a pleasant look. And because we militaria collectors like details a picture of the centered release button.

Just noticed the low quality of the scaled image in my initial post.

Just to show my latest addition. Old blade, suriage. Signed omi (no) kami ____. The fittings are very nice and show little wear.
