The sword does not seem to have the Hamon line, Its hazy on the bottom of the blade. The rest of the blade is shiny and reflective. Do Hamons fade over time or did many swords not rally have them?

Thank you! You made my day! Any idea what you believe it is worth?

I recently purchased a Kai Gunto Naval Officers sword and want to make sure this is not a fake. The family I purchased from stated their father brought it home after the war ended. They guarantee it is authentic and will give me 30 days to inspect. If not happy will refund me. I have researched across the board and believe it is original but, I am not an expert. I greatly appreciate your insight and assistance! Bob
