Bladeadmirer Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 Recently at a show I acquired this sword. It was marked as a 1907 police sword with a 1500s blade. I started to try and decipher more details but I am not equipped to properly translate the inscriptions. I took as many photos as I could imagine would be helpful. Both sides of tang with inscriptions, the multiple pin holes, and a few other images of note. I'm sure you all know way more about this than I do, I just want to learn more about what I have. Sorry for the paragraph. Quote
