Hello, my late father had a sword which I have acquired. It looks like a world war 2 NCO sword but it has some anomalys.
It has some stamps on the handle (see pic) but the blade has no serial number when the handle is removed. Also , the blade is steel but it is quite blunt. I have heard that there are copies that exist of Japanese swords and wondered if this could be genuine or not. Any help greatly appreciated.
