This one passed through my hands not too long ago. It's a bit rare because there were so few fighters made between WWII and the Korean war, and almost without exception those you do see have leather handles. It's also unusual because it has an abbreviated double hilt. The workmanship looks "shop-like", but there no way of knowing for sure. Anyhow, I wanted to see Jim's great thread come back to the top and hope some of you will enjoy the photo.



Best,
