djforresta Posted December 24, 2013 Report Posted December 24, 2013 I am A pawn shop owner and have recently then acquiring quite a bit of memorabilia from World War 2 as the original owners are passing away and family doesn't seem to have interest in it or the older veterans don't have anyone to pass it on to, they have been bringing it to me off late and I've been able to acquire some really neat stuff. I have four sons and we have collected rifles and bayonets both in the 6.5 and 7 .7 rifles but recently I was able to purchase a couple swords along with some knives and bayonets from a gentleman and this is the military sword I got. The other swords seems to be much older and is traditional made from what I'm told. Forrest Quote

cabowen Posted December 24, 2013 Report Posted December 24, 2013 Isn't this already posted in an earlier thread? WWII era naval sword with a non-traditional stainless blade. Not much more to it. Quote
djforresta Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Posted December 24, 2013 I don't think so I got the sword less than a week ago and I tried to post a couple days ago but did not have a way to edit photos and just got them done. I accidentally posted these pictures in a thread about an old sword I got up at the same time but I figured this was a more appropriate venue to find a little bit out about it. I also posted these pictures on a facebook forum. Forrest Quote
Mark Posted December 24, 2013 Report Posted December 24, 2013 it is a WWII navy sword. The blade is machine made from rust resistant steel. It is missing the metal part at the opening of the scabbard. Because of condition issues I would think it is worth $6-800 Quote
