Recently purchased this zinc Schwerin type 4.04 "Dishback" Blockade Runners award from our friend Leon.

This zinc version used the same die as the tombak 4.02 version with the closer spaced maker mark. It has a short barrel hinge and flat bottomed Tombak wire catch.

It’s already been posted (see link below) but I thought it deserved to be shown again as it is such a beautiful award.

From the photos you can see in detail some of the casting "cavities"

Hope you enjoy it.

Here is another dagger which seems to be quite mysterious in this field of collecting..The blade is hand forged and has the documentation however, what is it exactly?? I am always curious about these types of daggers. As the last dagger was determined to have been miss-matched with the saya, I wonder what is the case with this piece??? All comments welcome.Regards,Geoff

Hi Guys,

I picked this Katana up today.
I really like the Hamon on it just catches the eye.
The sad part is it has stains and its a little rough.

The Kanji is different, not smooth you can see marks in it (like choppy marks in the characters, not sure how to explain it maybe you guys understand what i’m saying?)

Opinions

Best

Bill
