I purchsed several items last weekend and was told this was a US hanger/belt made in Japan. I passed on the belt due to lack of knowledge. Been thinking about it ever since. Anyone have any ideas on it? Ive been searching but have found nothing?

Legion,

This is a legitimate postwar USN sword belt made by Japan Sword.

Thanks Orpo for your help! I assume it was made during the occupation. Atleast it wasn't marked "made in china" Eek
