So, my question now is: Is there a way to identify the family this sword was forged for, carried into battle with, get in contact with?

This is cross posted to get translation and detailed information, perhaps Smith, family name, and geography of origin. This was passed down to me when my father died. He acquired it sometime between 1944 and 1961.

This sword was given to my father either in WWII or Korea. Im hoping to identify the family name, smith, and any history of this sword.
