jartbaker Posted May 4, 2025 Report Posted May 4, 2025 Hello, I recently acquired this sword and have been trying really hard to ID it. It has writing on the blade but I can’t translate it. The handle is leather wrap over copper over bamboo. I can’t get to the pin because it is under the copper. Can you help me ID it? Quote
Lexvdjagt Posted May 4, 2025 Report Posted May 4, 2025 This is, unfortunately, a fake sword, likely a cheap Chinese fake. Greetings, Lex 1 Quote
Brian Posted May 4, 2025 Report Posted May 4, 2025 Worst of the worst when it comes to fakes unfortunately. Nothing there remotely genuine. 1 Quote

Guest When Necessary Posted September 10, 2025 Report Posted September 10, 2025 It's Hebrew - that's what is allegedly on the back of the sacred mirror at Ise (one of the three sacred regalia of the Japanese imperial family). Apparently, some arrogant English guy in the Meiji period demanded to see it and later said it was all inscribed in Hebrew. Quote
