A “Shin Gunto,” or New Military Sword, made by Kanenao of Seki Province.

This sword was made between 1940 and 1942, other then that I don’t know much else about it.

Type 32 Imperial Japanese Army Calvary Saber

First used in the Russo Japanese War. The Type 32 stayed in service well into World War Two. It was an interesting blend of European and Japanese blades.

My Type 95 Japanese Imperial Army Sword was missing a lanyard loop and a tassel. So I had to fix it…
