Rsword, just looking at the swastika design in isolation, the Chinese influence/architecture of design appears to be there, I have to now agree. In looking at the swastika on the scabbard again, the lines look uncannily similar and about 45 degrees gradient similar to that of the hilts so I guess you're right in saying you're not convinced the Chinese influence ain't there based on the similarities with your example. But again, another superficial view on my part.
