Once again thanks to everyone that has responded. The other side of the tang appears unmarked. I am wondering if this is a blade worthy of a proper polishing? The blade is approx 26 inches from tip to tsuba.
Hi I am new to this board. I am an avid collector of mostly military related items including various swords. I have a sword that i would like translated. I will take more pics if needed. Thanks in advance for any help! :D
