Help Identifying an old Saber
Seems to follow the pattern of the Japanese army or police saber without the markings. Passed on from my grandfather to my father, and now me. I'm at a loss...

Thanks

I saw a sword in an online auction that was similar to this, advertised as a WWII Japanese Police sword. It had sharkskin and a chain instead of the full knuckle guard, but was otherwise close to yours. I'll look around and see if I can find anything else.

Also, yours has more of a "button" look than a flower halfway down the grip.

Hmm... I'll keep looking when I get a chance.

The sword I saw:

P.S. I looked around a little more. Check out this description on wiki answers. It may help narrow it down:

Thanks Shane! I'll check out the sites you mentioned. I also need to measure the length....
Wayne - you have an Army Model 1886 Regulation Pattern NCO's saber.
Thanks Hal,

Thanks Hal,

I tried to search for info on the Army Model 1886 Regulation Pattern NCO's saber you provided and couldn't find anything. Could you point me in a direction where I can find who used these, where/when, etc...the history behind it basically. I could kick myself for not asking my grandfather & dad..... Thanks again for IDing it for me. I did take a couple more pics and measured the blade at a little over 31 inches (about another 1/16).

Wayne
