SARGE Posted May 22, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2020 Gents, Here is an older Japanese Short Sword (Wakizashi or WAK). These civilian swords are one of a pair, one long and one short, worn by Samurai in olden days. This one came back at the end of the war by way of a souvenir hunting US Soldier with some other edged weapons. Some he acquired were nice swords and some were not so good. This one has rather plain civilian mounts and a plain lacquered scabbard and a blade that it seems was cut down to be a WAK since it has two holes in the shortened tang. Missing a few bits and pieces but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
