    This doesn't appear to be a retention cord, perhaps some sort of lucky charm or decoration of similar braided silk.

    It was Dale who posted this original vs fake comparison, still hilarious:
  3. PNSSHOGUN
    The chain hanger looks far too flimsy to be an original.

    Utsuri and Inazuma visible, clearly a sword worth further appraisal.
  6. PNSSHOGUN
    The sword has been sold, donation will be made to the board. Please archive.

    Further photos and detail of the surrender: HONG KONG, 1945-09-16. OFFICIAL SURRENDER CEREMONY OF Japanese FORCES IN THE COLONY OF HONG KONG. MAJOR-GENERAL OKADA AND VICE-ADMIRAL FUJITA SIGNED FOR THE Japanese AND SURRENDERED THEIR SWORDS TO REAR ADMIRAL Cecil Halliday Jepson HARCOURT. THE CEREMONY WAS WITNESSED BY ADMIRAL FRASER, THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE BRITISH PACIFIC FLEET AND OFFICERS FROM CANADA, THE U.S.A. AND CHINA. https://images.rmg.co.uk/asset/42769/

    Yes, he is both and have never heard otherwise.

    @Michael T Would be most interested in seeing the sword from the Maritime Museum.

    It sounds like it may have indeed been an un-tempered blade, which was apparently common with the police & shore patrol sabres.

    The catalog is now available online, many interesting pieces. https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2025/important-Japanese-swords-and-armour-from-the-paul-l-davidson-collection?lotFilter=AllLots

    Surprised the seller doesn't also have a bridge for sale.

    It depends on what direction you would like to go with collecting. If you are happy with military swords, then Showato in good condition offer a wide range of options in blade and mounts. You will likely gain more satisfaction from a Gendaito or Nihonto in the long term, and they will also represent the best military swords you can find. For what it's worth, the exercise is rather difficult without at least a picture of each sword to judge condition.

    Agree wholeheartedly for Piers as moderator.

    It's a bit of a shame we only get a glimpse of the Hamon from the Oshigata in the Juyo Nado Zufu.
