Bridges Posted December 31, 2022 Report Posted December 31, 2022 Hey all! I’m excited to say I purchased this Junsa, or, patrolmen(police) sword in what appears to be remarkable condition. I don’t understand the proof mark above the nickel habaki and I cannot find it in Dawsons guide. I purchased this sword for $380 USD and I want to know, how did I do? Honest opinions only! My feelings will not be hurt, criticism on blade condition is welcome. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted December 31, 2022 Report Posted December 31, 2022 It's a beauty, Noah, nice find! A few of those stamps have been showing up, always on police swords, but we haven't identified it yet. Can you show the police emblem on the backstrap? Dawson, I believe, defines each one. 1 Quote
Bridges Posted December 31, 2022 Author Report Posted December 31, 2022 Here she is Bruce, I’ll do some further digging on the proof mark and will update if I discover anything of note! Quote
Scott JM Posted December 31, 2022 Report Posted December 31, 2022 For what it's worth I think you did rather well. ---Scott. 1 Quote
