I have a couple of swords with the paracord wrapping that was done by US sailors and Coast Guard’s men when they were heading back to the states from Japan post war. It’s a part of the history of the sword and I decided to leave it in place. It’s not particularly valuable but because of the family history I would never sell it! Tom

The Baltimore antique arms show is a great show with multiple Japanese sword dealers there. There’s usually several tables with samurai suits of armor and lots of Japanese rifles and accessories. It’s at the Maryland state fairgrounds on Saturday March 21-22. https://www.baltimoreshow.com/ Tom

Incredible reference material! I’m extremely appreciative of your efforts! Tom

Yes Mr. Murphy, it is a legitimate late war naval dirk with what we call an integral scabbard. All metal scabbard that usually has black paint to simulate the leather or Ray skin. They are not very common. Tom
