    This was also on the lid scabbard.

    Steve M, here is a photo of the blade if it helps. The only other mark on this sword is on the handle and it looks like four small squares in a diamond formation.

    Shamsy, thanks for the reply and the added information. China is always a possibility. All I really know about the sword was that it was located by my grandfather somewhere in the Philippines during World War II. Since then, the sword has been with my family and nothing has ever been changed while it has been with us.

    Also, the scabbard has a flap that closes once the sword is taken out. It has the number 1084 and this on it, do you know what it says?

    Thank you both for the response. I vaguely remember when the sword was viewed by an expert in San Francisco, CA that he mention it may have belonged to a general and that it was old, but he never mentioned how old. Do you have any idea how old this might be? Kevin

    Here is the rest of the sword.

    I was wondering if someone might be able to help me identify and translate a World War II sword that had been handed down to me. The sword was once checked by an expert, but he has since passed away and I do not have any of the information. I believe the sword is a shin gunto. Thank you for your help.
