Very Rare Antique Chinese Republic Army Officer General Sword 1912-1928
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).

M1918 tunic 372nd Inf, Hand patch, 1st sgt, 2 OS stripes, French +US medals
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. Nominally a part of the 93rd Infantry Division (Colored). That served with the French Army. In World War I. The 372nd Infantry Regiment was composed of the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia organized by Charles Remond Douglass.

The 372nd Regiment was seconded to the 157th Infantry Division. Of the French Army, called the Red Hand Division. Under the command of General Mariano Goybet.

Over the Top September 28, 1918, the 3rd Battalion started after the Boche. The first blow being delivered by the 2nd Moroccan Division of shock troops. The retreating Boches are still bombarding our position. Machine gun fire is thick and the 88s are falling like hail. On the morning of September 29, 1918, we are trying hard to keep up with the retreating enemy, which is retreating fast, unable to stand our assault. This afternoon it is raining which is unfortunate for our wounded, as there are many. Today is September 30, 1918, and we find that the 1st Battalion is on our right, and advancing fast in the rain and mud. Machine gun opposition is still stiff. Our casualties are small and we have captured a large number of prisoners. October 1, 1918, we are meeting with a stiff resistance from the enemy who has fortified himself in a hill during the past night. Owing to the bad condition of the ground we are not getting any support from the French artillery. October 2, 1918, we have driven the enemy out of Fountain-en-Dormois and are now in the village. Still we are giving the enemy no rest, they are retreating across the valley to one of their supply bases which has a railroad running into the same. The enemy is now burning the supplies which cannot be moved. October 3, 1918, we have advanced and captured the little village of Ardeuil and a considerable amount of war material. Our losses have been rather heavy during the past 24 hours, but we have inflicted a much heavier loss on the enemy. On our right the 1st Battalion has taken the village of Sechaut after some hard fighting by Company A. October 4, 1918, the 2nd Battalion is going in this morning, and we are resting at Vieox, which is about four kilometers from Monthois and is one of the enemy’s railroad centers and hospital bases. The enemy is busy destroying supplies and moving wounded. We can see trains moving out of Monthois. Our artillery is bombarding all roads and railroads in the vicinity. The enemies’ fire is fierce and we are expecting a counter-attack. October 5, 1918, the German artillery has opened up good and strong and we are on the alert. They attacked us and a stiff hand-to-hand combat ensued. Again he has been driven back, suffering an exceedingly heavy loss. We have taken many prisoners from about twelve different regiments. After resting a little, we continued our advance and are now on the outskirts of Monthois. October 6, 1918, the enemy is throwing a stiff barrage on our left where the 333rd French Infantry is attacking. The enemy is again being driven back. The liaison work of the 157th Division has been wonderful, not the slightest gap has been left open. October 7, 1918, our patrols entered Monthois early in the morning but were driven out by. Gun and its crew. We have just received word that we are to be relieved by the 76th Regiment, French, sometime during the night; we were relieved at 8:00 P.
