British Pattern 1856 Yatahgan Sword Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 363 - BAYO 363 This is a good example of the 1856 sword bayonet.

The bayonet is 716 mm long with a re-curved Yataghan blade length of 581mm. The ricasso bears a clearly stamped Kings head mark, which is the makers mark for Weyersburg Company of Solingen, Germany.

**RARE TROPHY OF WAR WITH PAPERS**Reputedly C1600 Ancient Hand Forged Nobukini Sword Smith, Family Blade Japanese Officer’s Sword (Most Likely Made C1890’s) Carried In WW2 Surrendered To British Corporal Evans RASC & UK Expert Assessment. Sn 23265:11 - 23265:11 Corporal T/14943466 Evans. J served with the Royal Army service Corps (RASC) during WW2 and in Malaya 1945-1947 as part of the 2nd Division. On re-organisation of the 2nd Division in 1947 the Corporal, received a Divisional commendation from Major General J.B. Churcher of the 2nd Division, thanking him for his service in Malaya. During his War service the Corporal captured this Japanese sword. It was surrendered to him by Japanese Captain T. Kuroki and is accompanied by its original note of surrender dated 20th October 1946 & signed by the Japanese Captain. In the note addressed to Corporal Evans, the Captain describes the sword as ‘ I certify that this sword was tempered by one of the most famous swordsmiths in Japan some 350 years ago named Nobukuni at the reign of Tokugawa Shogunet Governmet’ and goes on to describe the importance of Japanese swords in the Samurai Warrior culture (the first generation Nobukuni was from Yamashiro Province. He was the son of Ryôkai Hisanobu and he is thought to have been one of the three great students of Soshu Sadamun . He was active in the early to mid 1300’s. The second generation Nobukuni made blades in the middle of the 1300’s while the third generation of smiths by this name worked in the last decade of the 1300’s through about 1430 in the Oei era. Following him in the Oei era there were two Nobukuni smiths of high repute. The first was Minamoto Saemon no Jo Nobukuni and the second was Minamoto Shikibu no Jo Nobukuni. The third generation Nobukuni & successive generations of smiths by this name continued to make high quality blades). The sword also comes with its original British ‘certificate of retention of enemy equipment’ dated 26th February 1947 signed by the Colonel of HQ 555 Sub Area Malaya authorising Corporal Evans to retain the sword as his own property. The sword in its scabbard and with its original papers were found by the family of Corporal Evans, shortly after his death, concealed behind a wardrobe in his family home. The sword has been examined by UK sword expert Bill Tagg and his hand written assessment and illustrations accompany the sword. In his assessment Bill states “Rare trophy of 2nd world war Japanese officer’s sword type 98 shin gunto with period sword retention papers giving permission to own a sword to T/14943466 Corporal J.Evans RASC & certificate of later service in Malaya The blade is unsigned. In my opinion made Circa 1890’s to 1940’s. There is an original letter dated 1946 to J.J Evans signed by a Japanese Captain who owned the sword. The letter gives the age & history of the sword as a 17th century blade by a famous maker (I have seen papers & letters like this before with invented histories & provenances to boost the appeal of the sword possibly to save it from destruction and in hope of getting it returned after the war). In good overall condition. Blade is in bright condition. A polish would remove the light marks on the blade and fully reveal the hamon. Possible Gendaito, handmade mounts in good but used & faded condition with original captain’s rank tassel fitted to sarute loop. Tsuba has manufacturer’s stamp of the Soya Sword Company. An original sword war souvenir with paperwork, a collectors item. N.B. Safety locking catch does not lock sword into scabbard”. In his illustrations Bill describes the cutting edge of the blade as just under 68 cms, full length 85 cms. He also describes other blade measurements and characteristics. The price for this sword worthy of further research includes UK delivery, Bill’s assessment and all of the original paperwork described and illustrated in the images. Sn 23265:11 £1,950.00 |
