Ningci, Shiniangang Village, Showa 3276

At about 12 noon, the reporter came to Mr. Xu's house on Shuitun Road and saw this saber. The scabbard and hilt of this saber are all made of brass, golden yellow, with a total length of 11 cm, a scabbard length of 75 cm, a handle length of 25 cm and a blade width of 3 cm. The scabbard and the blade body weigh about 1.2 kg, and the scabbard is engraved with the Japanese military flag, the word "Emperor", three cherry blossoms and the words "Fifteen Years of Showa" on one side, and a dragon pattern on the other side. One side of the blade is engraved with the words "Fifteen Years of Showa" and "Ningji of Gangcun", and the other side is engraved with the words "Emperor" and the number of 4127.

Mr Xu told reporters that he bought this knife from an old man in Nanjing 2 years ago. "At that time, I went to Nanjing to buy fry, and I happened to see such a knife hanging on the wall of an old man selling fish to ward off evil spirits." After seeing Mr Xu, he immediately discussed with the old man and sold it for his collection, and finally bought it at the price of 12 yuan.

According to the data, the notorious Okamura Ningji successively served as the commander of the 11th Army and the 6th Army of the Japanese army and the general commander of the Chinese sending army during the war of aggression against China, and implemented the extremely cruel "three-light policy" of burning, killing and robbing all the troops in China. In August 1945, China published a list of Japanese war criminals, and Okamura Ningji was listed as the primary war criminal. On August 15th, 1945, the Japanese government announced its unconditional surrender to the world. On September 9, the same year, Okamura Ningji signed the surrender book of China Theater on behalf of the Japanese government.

At about 1: 3 this morning, a staff member with the surname of one party in Jinan Archives preliminarily identified the knife as "genuine" on the spot, and thought it was probably the command knife of the Japanese army when Japan invaded China. Okamura Ningji named the knife after the user himself. The only suspicious thing is that the word "Gang" in "Gangcun Ningji" engraved on the blade is actually written as "Gang" in some materials. If the sword is indeed Okamura Ningji's sword, it will surely become another ironclad proof of the evil of the Japanese invasion of China.
