NAVY OFFICER'S DAGGER, model 1883
Japan
Showa period (1926-1989)
Steel, leather, gilded brass
Total length: 39; Blade length: 22.2 cm

Steel dagger with a groove and single edge whose fuse – with a removable peg in the shape of cherry blossoms – ends in a pommel in the shape of a rounded helmet, also topped with a cherry blossom. Guard with inverted quillons, marked with the hallmark of the Suya Company of Tokyo – probably a subcontractor of the arsenal.

Lacquered leather scabbard, with two bail rings, and fitted with a release button above a cherry blossom that is animated by the gilded brass chappe – motif repeated on both sides. Gilded brass rivet, cut and animated with two cherry blossoms.

These daggers were introduced into the Navy by the commission of October 26, 1883.

Illustrative image from the book Sabres and white weapons of the Japanese imperial army (1868-1945) by Fabrice Wateau.
