gwb123 Posted April 23, 2020 Share #3 Posted April 23, 2020 It is a maintenance kit for a samurai sword or similar edged weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted April 23, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 23, 2020 That's super cool! Imagine finding this box at a sale. I would never guess. Looks like the cleaning kit of a musical instrument! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolzer Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted April 24, 2020 This came in a box of assorted 1918-1940's Red Cross items. Thanks gwb123! You never know what you might find out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted April 24, 2020 Share #6 Posted April 24, 2020 My son has a sword and at one time was going to buy one of these. I have no idea how all these items work together. https://www.amazon.com/Ace-Martial-Arts-Supply-Maintenance/dp/B0009TNGQC/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1ATJMA9MQFSJL&dchild=1&keywords=samurai+sword+maintenance+kit&qid=1587768218&sprefix=samurai+sword+maint%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted July 13, 2020 Share #7 Posted July 13, 2020 the brass hammer (and removable pin) is for knocking out the wooden peg that holds the sword together, the tracing paper I think is for getting rubbings of the signatures on the tangs, the powder and the (clove?) oil is for the blade.
