Sword
In the summer of 1954, I bought a sword identical to yours at a little place in NYC, at 103 West 44th Street, called The Hobby House. I paid $1.00 for it, and was told by the owner (a Mr. Hollander) that it was a Japanese policeman's sword. Mine had no scabbard, and the blade was not in very good shape. But for an 11 year-old kid, it was great!
