Object: Japanese military parade or dress sword, catalogued previously by Yamazakura as a Type 19 company-grade cavalry officer’s example.

Notable feature: Retains its associated military-style tassel, an important part of the sword’s surviving presentation.

Type: The Type 19 designation is a regulation-pattern reference originating in the Meiji period; it is not used here as a claimed manufacture date for this individual sword.

Attribution: The company-grade cavalry identification is retained from the earlier catalogue. No named officer, unit history or precise date of manufacture is presently documented.

Condition: Please refer closely to the photographs for the condition and surviving finish of the sword, scabbard, fittings and tassel.

A well-presented example of the Japanese Type 19 military dress-sword family, distinguished by the survival of its tassel.
