    I would like to thank Mark for taking the time to meet with me, teach me more about the sword, and provide me more knowledge about what I have in my possession. I would agree with what Mark stated about this sword and have taken necessary steps to try an preserve it the best I can at this time.

    Hello, I was able to get some photos of the hamon that I thought may help with my desire to learn more about this swords origins. https://share.icloud.com/photos/07eLuXil1htFM6NioDeJGGodg

    Hello, I posted this sword into the WW2 section but was informed it could be older than that time frame. I was hoping to find out more about the sword. Below is a link to all the photos I currently have of the sword. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0uP4lBdtNdXexcdA6dxRuOoYw Thanks in advance!

    So I was able to zoom in and get some better photos of the signature and the whole sword. https://share.icloud.com/photos/02ilGyuBmQDjwkLUSafS9BW2g

    Great to know! It also looks like the saga is made from wood or something similar. I will try to get photos of these items soon.

    When you say a picture of the whole sword without the fittings, you mean with all the handle gear off?

    Do recommend me using something to try and clean up the area where the signature is or leave it alone and do my best? If so, what do you recommend me using?

    I will try to get better photos of the signature. Can you explain what the meguki ana is, I am not familiar with all the parts of a Japanese sword.

    Well, got it off! Very little force needed to be applied. This link provides some photos of the chips or nix in the blade and the handle. https://share.icloud.com/photos/02YaoMJrIAqGrOT1cl2Jwpumw

    Would I be able to use a rubber mallet to tap the tsunami and try to get it off? I also found a few dings in the blade but I am unsure how to get a high quality photo of them.

    https://share.icloud.com/photos/0QtZCp0TZAIRVbRXTiqMGrM7w can you open them with this link?
  16. Andy Spohn
    Can you open this one? I can upload more but have 19 total right now. Is there a different way to upload them?

    When I have the peg pulled out, I can’t see through it, what should I do? What button are you referring to?

    Hello, thanks for the quick response. Attached are the photos I could get of the sword. I got on wooden peg out of the handle but couldn’t see if there were any others. I wasn’t able to get the handle off with mild pressure. How hard should I have to pull to get it off? I don’t want to break the handle or cause worse shape then it is already starting to get in (as you can see by the wrap on the handle. thanks, andy IMG_2395.HEIC IMG_2389.HEIC

    While deployed in WWII my grandfather was in a liberated city in which he found a Japanese sword. It has been handed down to me and I was hoping I could find out more about it. I’d like to find out if it’s a machine blade made or forged and who the made the sword. Is there any way to determine this information?
