Hello,
Just thought I'd share a few pictures of a bit of what was handed down to me by my grandfather, who was an Army Engineer and one of the first to step foot on Japanese soil after the bombs were dropped. I've had these for years and have done very little research but have learned a good bit from this forum, so thanks for that.
I eventually would like to have the sword evaluated, polished and rewrapped by someone truly qualified. I'm working on building a nice display case for these and other items.
Edit: The other items are a bayonet for an Arisaka Type 38 and my only guess for the mini katana would be a letter opener (it's very sharp though).
