Very Rare Antique Chinese Republic Army Officer General? The sword is made in the style of the Japanese Meiji Period Officer’s Kyu-gunto Katana sword, with a large solid brass D shaped guard, decorated in inner side with two crossed National Flags of the Republic of China, a Five bar – coloured flag. Please see the links below. The brass back-strap with an integral helmet formed pommel stamped on the top with 98, is engraved with Iron Blood 18-Star of Wuchang Uprising, flanked by 4 five pointed stars, possibly the rank of the Superior General First Class of the Chinese Army Yjíshangjiàng. But we are not assured, amidst the floral garlands also adorned with 4 five pointed stars. For the ranks of Chinese army please see the link below. The wooden grip is covered in Ray skin and wrapped in twisted and straight brass wire, brass ring with the button to release the locking mechanism that holds the scabbard to the hilt, stamped with 98. The slightly curved, long and sturdy, steel blade in the form of Japanese Katana blade (possibly an original Japanese blade) is chrome or nickel plated, but still sharp. The steel scabbard, with wood insert, original to the sword, with single suspension ring is stamped on the mouth, and the shoe with 178. Most of the Chinese republic dress swords are with a crudely made brass hilt and poor quality tiny blades. This particular sword which we are offering for sale is with a superb quality hilt and strong katana type blade which is fairly scarce and unique. We were not able to find another sword of comparable quality in any of the references, including the internet sources. Possibly this is the only example of this rare sword known to exist, and this may be the only chance in life to acquire such an authentic, unique example, of Chinese sword. CONDITION: In good condition considering its age, Showing the wear and the usage. The nickel or chrome plating on the steel blade slightly worn with some light surface staining, the tip with a small nick. The brass hilt with remains of the silver color plating. So it is possible that the brass hilt was plated, or just highlighted by silver, nickel, or chrome plating. The steel scabbard with surface rust, and one minor dent on the spine. The Blade and the scabbard can be easily cleaned, but we left the sword in untouched condition, as it was found. MEASUREMENTS (approximately): The overall length in the scabbard is: 96.5 cm (37.99 inches). The overall length of the sword without the scabbard: 89 cm (35.04 inches).

Original WW1 US m1918 tunic dated march 1919. The tunic is overall good shape with few moth nips, hole, etc. The collar insignia looks French made screw back 372nd company B and US. The 1st sgt stripes, 2 bullion overseas strips, and red hand patch all looks sewn tighter with the same thread. This same thread also resewn or reinforced all the buttons on the tunic. This is how I got the tunic. I added the original ww1 medals and original ww1 fourragere. All show little wear but correct date and campaign bars for the 93rd Division. No ID anywhere but tunic came with the board ticket unmarked. The patches, insignia look right and seeing all the buttons reinforced I would think no forger would bother to do but a soldier would but there is always a first for anything.. The march 1919 date was about the time 372nd came back as any and all used wartime uniforms were replaced due to the lice, flu pandemic worries, etc that covered them in the trenches. No real providence other than is came from a longtime collector. Some history of the unit. The 372nd Infantry Regiment. Was an African American.
