Recently picked this up from a friend of mine who purchased the sword from the North of England auction house a number of years ago. The Sword is a late war period completely untouched with a stainless steel blade . All the fittings and blade are marked 366 even the inside of the saya is marked the same . The blade is in excellent condition and as a small square mark which I think it could be an ordinance mark ?

I recently received this Japanese sword stand is there any way to possibly tell the age of it ? A friend of mine looked at it and he believes it is made of a Japanese hardwood as it is very heavy . Many thanks Gareth
