Hi This is the nakaga that I perhaps should have shown first. Regards Don

Any help would be grand..... OK 1) one side is very shiny and worn.(inside when worn 2) Outside is brown aged look 3) really nice Hamon 4)no signature on blade but there is on the Wood..under the copper/handle The cord is really quite old but really original I would say This was a bring back from J Force in 1946 NZ .Blade is incredibly sharp. I took the platelets of the handle off and I was surprised to find a faded signature on the wood. Also the tang has 2 holes Any help would be great.
