Butch Posted October 8, 2021 Report Posted October 8, 2021 I have this small naval sword which I believe is the Parade Sabre . The blade is the plated type and the sword came with the attatched tassle . Many thanks Gareth Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted October 8, 2021 Report Posted October 8, 2021 The small harp stamp on the guard indicates this was made Suya Shoten. They produced good quality mounts, NCO swords and parade sabers for officers. Quote
Butch Posted October 8, 2021 Author Report Posted October 8, 2021 Many thanks for your comment ... The sword tassel does this indicate any rank or is it the same as the later Kai Gunto brown generic Navy Tassel? Gareth Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted October 8, 2021 Report Posted October 8, 2021 Same deal, no rank differentiation for these. For a period of time Admirals had the Paulownia 5-7-5 crest on the hilt and top hanger of the scabbard. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted October 8, 2021 Report Posted October 8, 2021 Very nice example. You see many group photos of navy crews with the officers carrying these. Quote
