    I'm wondering reproduction? Tom

    Thanks Stegel, Yes, it does look like the same sword you pictured, and I noticed the famous grey blanket. Tom

    Thanks Chris, the blade is not in the greatest condition. No pitting but someone "cleaned" it with an abrasive. Also the front seppa is missing, but I'm still very happy to have it! Tom

    Bruce, here is another one that I just picked up. It needs the front seppa that is missing. Tom

    Hi All, I’m hoping for some information on this type 95. It appears to have a hand forged blade. Notice how there are no serial numbers, habaki or inspection stamps. Has anyone ever seen one like this? Any information will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Tom

    Senior Red Cross dirk, nice fittings. Too bad about the blade. Tom

    Damm Mike, I just saw this and you beat me to it. Beautiful piece, good luck with it. You'll have to bring it to Allentown so I can see it in person. Tom

    Hi all, I’m hoping for translation assistance on this old sword. I took pictures with and without a flash. Thank you all very much. Tom

    Hi Steve, I've never seen a copper hilt with the second screw, could you please post a picture of one? This is why I love this site, you learn something new all the time.Thank you very much, Tom

    Hi Brian, it's definitely a reproduction. The original copper hilts don't have a screw in the tsuka only the barrel sarute holds the blade intact. Tom
