Commander's saber of the former Imperial Japanese Army .

The saber, such as the 19th-century French Navy officer's saber, is a type of European curved sword. In Japan, it was adopted for military use during the Meiji era and is still used as a ceremonial sword in the current Self-Defense Forces.

Unlike the Japanese sword, the saber is designed not primarily for cutting but for striking forcefully to unseat an opponent while mounted. It is considerably heavier than a Japanese sword, providing flexibility to withstand hitting rigid armor without breaking.

In Japan, after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, efforts to strengthen military capabilities led to the introduction of Western-style armaments. Along with this came the concept of a military sword, and in 1886, a uniquely Japanese saber-style military sword was developed, incorporating the saber-style exterior and the traditional Japanese sword style in the blade.

The saber used by the former Imperial Japanese Army is commonly known as the "Army Officer Sword." This was the standardized military sword carried by officers and commanders in the Japanese Army, featuring a design influenced by Japan's traditional sword culture. The officer's saber had a curved blade with intricate patterns and decorative handles. The blade itself was typically made of high-quality steel. These military swords were adopted for ceremonial and formal occasions, serving as part of the officer's uniform.

Een prachtig product, goed verzonden, goede communicatie. Ik had alleen niet op de verzendkosten gelet, die hoog bleken te zijn. Maar het is een mooi bezit!

oggetto consegnato e coerente alla descrizione e alla foto. unica pecca: il mittente non ha versato iva che ho pagato e quindi ho dovuto pagare 2 volte. Catawiki mi ha prontamente rimborsato.
