Thanks for the help. I thought it was a repo but some of the details looked pretty good for a copy. This sword supposedly came from Japan in the sixties via a military guy.
It has been sharpened some time in the past and appears to be able to hold an edge.
Thanks,
Bob

And to be clear, it is the sword on top. The other one
I think is a repo/copy.
Thanks.
