Welcome Maxbliss,

Fine looking daggers you have there. We have a member here (forum name gunto) who is well versed in IJN daggers. I'm sure he will be along and comment further.

Regards,
Stu

Late Meiji to Taisho period ,due to the type of fittings.
Ancestral blade mounted , still I think its a wierd looking nakago and mekugi-ana.
Is the handle broken and repaird? Would like to see closeup photo of handle.
