Valerian Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 My dad “got” this sword in the South Pacific during WWII. Can anyone tell me something about it? I’m a total novice. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 Hi Kevin! Just curious, is your screenname from the movie? Loved that one! For starters, a civil blade fitted with leather cover for the war. Looks like a wakizashi (cutting edge shorter than 24"). Is the tassel all brown? Quote
Grey Doffin Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 Hi John, Here you will find a care and handling brochure; you would be doing yourself and the sword a favor if you read it. https://nbthk-ab2.org/sword-characteristics/ We need better pictures before we can tell you much. Start with a dark, uncluttered background. Give us a shot of the whole bare blade with the tip at the top and another of the tang with signature, again with the tip of the sword up (your 1st picture of the tang is upside down). Grey 1 Quote
