    Here’s an unusual one. Can anyone help shed some wisdom as to what this is? I was thinking a police sword but I don’t recognize this one. Thank you for any insight. Tom

    Hi all, I’m hoping for a translation of this tang. I’m lost. Thank you all very much for your expertise and knowledge. Tom

    To me it looks like someone just “customized” the tsuba post war by cutting it down. Just my guess. Tom

    Another great score Mike! Tom

    Thanks Thomas for posting the regulations diagrams. The sonin level swords show a different scabbard fitting pattern i.e. Not a boars eye cutout. The sword pictured also has the correct sonin level colonial knot although it's damaged. In my humble opinion I believe the scabbard is correct. Tom

    This is a rare Tsingtao sonin level colonial sword! Tom

    I was just visiting the UDT/SEAL museum in Fort Pierce FL. Here is another one of his swords! Sorry for the poor pictures. They were taken with my phone camera in poor lighting and behind a glass case. Tom

    Charlie, how can you resist with the tigers all over it! Tom

    I believe this was one of those special order items for winter/artic excursions!😉 Tom

    I missed out on this one due to the time difference. I also would have bought it immediately! Tom

    Hi Neil, it's Tom Foster in New Jersey, USA. Would you consider $1600 for the parade sword?

     Thank you,

    Tom

    Thank you very much Kirill, for now I’m just trying to get an approximate age and not interested in selling. Thank you again for your expertise. Tom

    Thank you very much Dwayne and Steve. Would you guys have an approximate time period for this? Tom

    I’m hoping for help in determining the approximate age of this tanto. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much, Tom

    I agree with Chris, the tang definitely looks like it was welded from another sword. Tom

    I bought a copy also. Tom

    Complete fake, run away! Tom

    Yes, John, there is a nice star stamped gendaito by Kaneshige. 1944 Tom
