Sorry guys did not mean to post it in the military sword section. I can get measurements and stuff later wondering what a general ballpark value for something like this might be?
A guy has offered me a few blades and this was in the lot. Would this be a Japanese naginata? Looks pretty old, guy said they are veteran bringbacks from a family member.
Any thoughts?
