Fastestcobra Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 I was given an American model 1860 Calvary Sabre. It was carried into the First World War. That soldier was said to have brought this Beautiful Japanese Sword home from overseas about that timeline. I am working with the family to help them find answers about both swords which brings me here. I know where the model 1860 has been, and even who carried it. I am excited to find out anything on this sword. The more I tried to translate, the more hair I pulled out. Thank You, Frank The sword is 88.9 centimeters. Quote

Fastestcobra Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Posted February 12, 2018 Again, the lightly scratched name/date ? Thank you again Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 The faint, light scratches are probably the polishers signature. Quote
Peter Bleed Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 Hoshu Takada ju Fujiwara Masayuki. A mid 17th century line. This sword has little to do with either an 1860 cavalry sabre or WW1. Peter Quote

Thank you for the translation, Frank. Quote
