Sorry, thought Colorado was MidWest I have decided to hold onto it. Hopefully one of these days I can restore.

Hi Veli Thanks for the wealth of information, You're right the condition of the sword is poor. I would love to have it restored but at this time I could not afford it. I thought of selling it to someone who could restore it and who appreciates this type of sword, but I wouldn't even know what it would be worth in this condition. Thanks again You have been a great Help Curtis

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 Curtis J.

Was hoping somebody could give any information about this sword and markings, Thanks
