I have had this sword for some time. I have never seen another with the stamp under the signature. There is also a unique stamp on the reverse side of the tang. I would love to know who made this sword.
I recently Purchased a Type 97 Sniper with 2 WW1 Artillery Short Swords and this Sword. Its in Army Mounts. The condition is Amazing. Its been sitting in an Attic for 40+ years untouched. I am curious as to who made this sword and during what Period. Any Help is Greatly Appreciated! Thanks In Advance! If the picture is not of good enough quality, I will try to take a couple more.
I recently Prchased this sword and I am Very Impressed with the Quality of the blade. I am Very Curious to know who the Smith was. Any information would be Very Helpful. The second picture is the Tsuba, which is also signed. Thanks in Advance! Lance D.
