Lot 0130
Japanese Chosen (Korean) dagger
Estimate: 1300-2000€Nice example of an extremely rare and seldom ever encountered Japanese Chosen (Korean) dagger that would have been carried by Japanese Officials assigned to the Colonial Administration of Korea that dates from the World War 2 Era. It is mounted with a beautiful machine made blade that measures 24 cm in length which remains in very nice original condition with just one minor surface blemish near the habaki on one side but with all of its gorgeous chemically applied wavy temper line still fabulously present on both sides. It wears lovely simple fittings which are accentuated with the “KIRI” emblems, one on the back strap as well as one on the pommel. The hilt features an attractive white “samé” covering that remains in very nice, clean healthy condition and with all of its twisted wire wrapping securely intact. The outstanding scabbard is lacquer shagreen covered and remains superb in its condition. The beautiful coordinating scabbard fittings also remain very nice however the gold wash is now a bit faded.
Total length is: 40.9 cm.Starting price: 1300€

Lot 0129
1883 Pattern Senior Petty Officers Japanece officers naval dirk
Estimate: 1000-1500€1883 Pattern Senior Petty Officers and the most junior commissioned officers naval dirk complete with its original leather wrapped scabbard that fits like a glove Seen on page 145 of “Japanese Military and Civil Swords and Dirks” by Richard Fuller and Ron Gregory (Published 1996) Described by those EXPERT authors as “EXAMPLES OF THESE DIRKS ARE RARE” This dirk is VERY DIFFERENT to the 1883 Pattern Commissioned Officers model (which are also far from “common”) because they do not carry the floral ornamentation of Cherry Blossoms usually seen on the officer’s pattern The handle shape is very distinctively different, as is the blade configuration and grove MOST ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy went to Davy Jones’s Locker rather than surrender, that likely a contributing factor to the great SCARCITY of these on the collector market today.
