    ID help 2 of 4

    Hello all.

    This is sword 2 of 4 I am seeking help in identifying.

    This sword has no markings, just a nice floral pattern on the guard. The blade edge is not sharp with the exception of the point. The blade is about 28.25" and 33.75" overall.

    Any help IDing this is appreciated.

    I believe this one's a Jap navy sword. That's about all I know. I don't think they're anything special.

    OK it appears that it is a WWII era Japaneseicon army parade saber.

    Anybody interested, let me know. It's for sale.

    Thanks,

    G'Day,
    I agree, looks like a standard junior army officers parade sabre with horn grip.
    ...the floral emblem on the middle of the backstrap wings is a cherryblossom(sakura),found on most
    military jap swords.
    cheers.
