Another nice transitional Austrian tunic.     Austrian tailors continued to make distinctive German tunics after the Anschluss.  Their tailoring was distinctive as they continued to make very scalloped pocket flaps which can be spotted a mile away.  Or... at least one or two aisles away at a militaria show.  Another give away is the short skirts on the rear of the tunics that carried over from WWI.   Here is an Austrian made tunic for an active duty Polizei Officer.  Notice the pockets and the long point collar.    

You should ask if the serial numbers on the back of the blade and on the scabbard match?  Not matching affects the value of the sword and you must decide how much you want to pay..      

I agree with you Tom.     Thanks for your active participation Mr. Bushido.    

thank you   

Thanks so much! I double-checked and he is German. So, that ribbon through the ring . . . would it fold down to pin on, or simply be display like a ribbon just threaded through the ring?

It's a shame that no one on the site can help me with this sword...I thought there were more people to confirm... 

It seems my post caused some misunderstanding. The early model of the Type 95 is called the Type 32 bis. Perhaps it was a term unique to JP collectors.     ohmura-study.net/957.html   https://search.yahoo.co.jp/image/search?p=32式改軍刀&ei=UTF-8&fr=applep1&x=nl#be895d8b5b0da7bf4b88c33a67fe1466

I thought it was a 95 type? Is it a pre-war model or very early? THANKS

Thank you both very much for the fast identification and background,  really appreciate it.  Ken 

This type of sword used by the lJA was called "Model 1898 military sword / Type 32 bis".   As it is also called "Sergeant Major sword", it was issued to senior NCOs.

I've never seen a Mod 30 canteen with a issued leather shoulder strap, so I would think this is possibly a wartime repair.

I found this 9 x 7 inch, desk flag yesterday.  Appears to be silk or nylon construction with printed stripes.  It came as a surprise as I had found one like it on a pole a couple of decades ago that I have on a shelf with other items from the period.
