Sorry, new at this, Don't know what I need to do
No other markings on the other side of tang. Is the signature the person who made the sword or does it mean something else. Late Koto can you elaborate? Thanks
Yes, when I received the sword they were both on the sword. It was kinda held together with a wire through the hole on the handle. Only thing I know was that my grandfather had it. I think he brought it back from WWII. It is in pretty rough shape.
Thanks
