Came across this (very German style, but Japanese) diplomat sword and could not resist it...
Anyone has another one to show?
I believe that the red leather grip is a (wrong) repair.
Best regards,
Herman

The guilding and hand crafted finishing is actually much better than those of most German swords of that period...
