Here is the Imperial Japanese Navy Dirk from the group of items brought home by PFC Leroy Stanley Gibson USMCR. I bought the group years ago from a dealer who bought it from the family. Gibson purchased the group from a Japanese family while he was on occupation duty right after the war. I have a ID'ed photo of the naval officer that was in the photo albums that went with the Gibson group. A slightly better quality than the average wartime dirk.

Thanks,

Dick
