Original Japanese M1914 Naval Officer Sword

This listing is for a vintage and rare Japanese M1914 Naval Officer’s Dress Sword, complete with its original matching scabbard. The M1914 pattern was the standard ceremonial and dress sword used by Imperial Japanese naval officers during the early 20th century and through the World War II era.

The sword features the characteristic brass naval hilt, decorative guard, and the sleek dress-style blade correct for this model. As expected for a true M1914 dress sword, the blade has a dull, unsharpened ceremonial edge and was never intended for combat use. The scabbard accompanies the sword properly and fits well.

A desirable piece for collectors of Japanese militaria, naval history, and WWII-era edged weapons.

Condition

Blade: Clean surface, unsharpened ceremonial edge (correct for this model), light patina typical for age.

Hilt: Brass fittings with age-appropriate patina, intact grip.

Scabbard: Original, with surface wear and marks consistent with long-term storage and age.

Overall: A solid, complete example of an authentic M1914 naval officer’s dress sword.
