Miniature Japanese Army Parade Sword

[LostDutchman]

I was told these were child's pieces. I also remember an article in the military trader about them.

Has anyone ever seen one of these before?

Letter opener? I've got a US Army saber letter opener similar to that.

I don't think that's what this is. I read an article about the child's miniatures that the Japanese made during the war.

I'm not 100% that this is what this sword is... but I don't think it's modern.

I like it very much!
Ray skin handle, silver wire winding, nickel plating and lots of details witch indicates it's a quality item.

I was impressed how well it was made. The blade is even of the quality I would expect in a normal sword.
