Ian, think your right in that Evans is English, on another forum the righting on the seppa was also read as Tatsuyama (dragon mountain) and Tatsuyama Co on the tsuba. Their thinking was that a part o Seoul called Yongsan (Dragon Hill) was a US garrison and this was the name of the subcontractor that put together the fittings.

I have no problem Rays assessment he's obviously on the ball, its just putting it in layman's terms for us novices to understand. My next question was that i have no intention of selling so would it be feasible to have blade polished and restored to how it was

I used Google to try and translate as best i could

As I mentioned I have very limited knowledge on the subject, am I correct in saying the blade has small straight crab claw hamon on a short or shortened unsigned blade from the Bizen school/province ? But no smith or age, I still don't think the paper work has any relevance to the blade.

Have you any idea who was the smith was and how old this blade is please..

Here's pic of full blade.

Help please I purchased a ww2 Japanese Katana that was said to have been captured from a Japanese captain T.Kuroki and handed to a US corporal J.J.Evans, there is some paper work with the blade but I cant tie them together. My knowledge about this subject is very limited and would appreciate any help..
