Ok I thought so but thanks for the advice

I just thought it would be the right thing to do I myself am an Infantry soldier going on 9 years and a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan as well as a Jiu-jitsu practitioner for the past 22 years and I know how important the sword was for those soldiers regardless if they were the enemy at the time. So the question I was posting was more along the lines if it was possible to trace the maker back to a certain garrison or something along those lines where I may be able to find out who the sword was originally issued to. I guess I was assuming the Japanese military supply program was close to the American version where we track everything issued to a soldier down to the smallest item. Thanks

I think I have a sword from the same maker but I'm not sure. What do you think?

I have a WWII sword that was given to me as a gift and I was wondering if it was at all possible to translate what was written on the blade and if so does it tell who owned it originally? I’m asking this because if it’s possible I would like to try to return it to its original owner or their family. Thanks
