Hi Jareth,

Here is a Japanese Army sword with a Man on the grip.

This looks like good detail on the sword grip and it is larger than other swords.

The blade apears to be earlier than WWII, and even though I think it is nickle plated, It looks like tempering line to me. You can see it in the blade right below this grip shot.

fairly nice grip

Nicle plated scabbard with rust showing through.

Can you tell me about this type of sword which I assume is personalized.

Thank you

Jim

Jim,

It is a family "Mon" on the backstrap of your Army parade saber. These are collectable, with the Mon, but I don't recognize it offhand. The blade is machine made and has a false temper line that is acid etched. It is not an
old blade but is probably pre-WWI because of the the fuller.

I hope this helps.

Orpo, you hope that helps?

That was great response. Thank you.

Jim
