    Trystan, thank you very much for this information. I had no idea that there were two classes. So is the otsu class a machine made blade? Tom

    Yes Bruce, it has the standard navy dirk koshirae. Any views as to legitimacy? Thanks, Tom

    I posted pictures in the translation section and was hoping someone could help me if this is a legitimate Mikasa dirk. The Mei is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Thanks for any information. Tom

    Exactly, the tangs you posted are the ones that I see online. I don’t see anything like the one I posted. Tom

    Is this a legitimate Mikasa naval dirk? It looks different from what I can research online. Thank you for any information. Tom

    If anyone is interested the Ohio Valley Military Society is having their annual MAX show at the York convention center in York Pa next Thursday through Saturday 9-19 to 9-21. There will be several sword dealers attending. It’s a great show with lots of military history antiques. Tom

    It looks like a legit copper hilt with a correct but mismatched saya. Tom

    I was just looking at the photo I posted and realized that it’s kind of dark. I’m hoping that this one is more legible. Thanks again, Tom
