This is an excellent scarce Japanese Type 32 Model 1886 Cavalry Trooper Officer's Saber/Sword. The sword known as the 1886/1899 was used and issued from the Russo-Japanese War of 1905 until the World War II era. The piece shows an all original matching construction with overall good condition for its age. The sword shows the original metal scabbard/sheath with ring connection. The sword itself has a bright blade showing good-very good condition and is marked, "65254". The piece shows a metal "D" guard with the Koishikawa Arsenal Tokyo (1870-1935) hallmark and another indiscernible mark above. The sword is an American G.I. Montana brought home piece from WWII. The handle shows a checkered hard wood grip with the metal grip handle frame having the matching checkering. This is truly a rare piece and would increase the quality of any collection.
