Sakcollectors Posted March 15, 2018 Report Posted March 15, 2018 Hello, I picked up a WWII Sword from a Vet and was looking for help on identifying the blade, when it was made and by who. The blade is 26 1/2 inches long. The Tsuka is a blue wrap. The Saya is black and the Fuchi is made out of brass. Also, any info on the WWII mounts would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any opinions. Regards, Don Quote
