Exceptional grouping of a WWII Imperial Japanese M1883 Naval dirk, and Naval officer's sword.

Some loss to gilded finish on fittings, but otherwise very good condition. Model 1883 Officer's Dirk bears 8 inch narrow fuller blade, brass fittings, and white wire wrapped shagreen grip, with brass cherry blossoms on either side, and one on pommel. Scabbard is shark skin over wood, with brass throat and chape, bearing relief cherry blossoms over floral engraving. Blade shows very mild wear, mostly from scabbard. Grip is excellent, fittings are tight, and button release works perfectly. Scabbard is excellent. Overall excellent condition.
