This is a excellent purchased book in 1987 but never really used. The dust cover has just the slightest of wear otherwise like new. MILITARY SWORDS OF JAPAN 1868-1945 by RICHARD FULLER AND RON GREGORY. Copyright 1986.This was the , I believe, first book published describing the many types and varieties of edged weapons issued and/or produced by Imperial Japan. The book also describes different designs of similar swords designating who or what rank they would be worn by.Describes different hangers, scabbards, tsuka/handles, Many if not all the arsenal markings noted on blades or fittings. Even different sarute, belts, belt buckles. Surrender photos of Japanese Officers presenting their swords also shown.127 ppgs chocked full of great information covering many of Imperial Japan's edged weapons. And this is the hardbacked edition NOT the paperback.A super addition for the library of the Japan military sword collector.
