      Many of these swords were officer swords that were claimed from captured or deceased Japanese soldiers. We have one here that my dad acquired in a unit ballot - all of the items collected by them in PNG in WWII were balloted to the unit soldiers. Like a lucky dip I guess.
      I'm sure Chris or one of our other militaria people will be able to tell you more about them.

      Does anyone else have any additional info to add on these small swords?
