So I thought I'd show you this one, it's an original Patton 1914, dated 1918. 
Under the U S there's a stamp that looks something like a fire, and under that it's stamped No 12. No idea what that means My dad bought this, and it hung from the ceiling in our basement when I was a kid. |

Seen a couple of these over the years. Not my thing, but I still think they're kinda neat... I'd like to see one made into a knife though. Just for %*&^'s and giggles. Nice blade, and may it stay in your familly for a very long time. jon |

....WW2 vet bringback....Showa Era-or earlier....made by Amahide 
....may have been 'personal'-but carried Military?-dunno....old family sword....as early as late 1800's-early 1900's....still doing research in the meantime-very complex area,and even harder when you're trying to read Kanji...

cool. I knew that the officers carried family blades, but I thougth that the military issued swords too. A guy that my dad worked with had a sword he brought back. He told my dad that it was a very fancy jewel encrusted piece. The guys wife didn't like it in the house, thought it was too dangerous. So she set it out with the trash 1 morning after he had left for work, and never told him. he found out 1 day when he went looking for it. Needless to say, he wasn't happy. |

Patton sabers run a minimum of $300.00-350.00 now. Even more if the sheath is the tent pole type and intact. The shorty you saw was done early in WW2 for use as a machete in the Pacific Theater. Sabre knots are a vital piece of equipment and would be leather on an issue Patton. They are essential to keep the blade from being lost and prevent it impaling the trooper if he is unhorsed. John |

Patton understood that the nature of modern warfare and its weapons would preclude the noble exchange of the Phrase-des-armes that characterized earlier periods. They have the capability to compete with other brand of swords as we are talking about its endurance and quality. This is another perfect warfare creation. |

jhoonday, Welcome to the forum! I see you are from the Phillipines - if you have some photos of your countryside, we would be very interested to see them. Any insights into your country's gun laws would be of interest here, too. SW |
