WWII Swords

[DBII]

I have resized the photos from my earlier thread and added a few more. It looks like there are two types of officer's swords. The photos were taken with a simple digital video camera that I use for the group builds so the focus is a little off.

You have a real Gem my friend. As a collector I am very jealous. Because of the "family" history of these swords, do not let them go.

Cool collection DB! Agree with Chris above, certainly don't want to loose them.

Do you have knowledge of pre 1936 blades, a friend of mine was over last PM trying to find out a little on a knife that was gifted to his family in 36 Germany. I hope DBII doesn't think I'm trying to hijack

The Japanese military sword with cherry blossoms was for the navy.
Nice collection.

Thanks for the information. I have been researching army swords. Pbfoot, what is the handle made of?

I have no clue. It is not a military knife though.
