Thanks for all the comments, I am slowing learning. Uploading additional picture looking for opinions if there has been damage done. Also opinions if this is worth taking this to someone to be appraised?
I got these from my father in-law after he passed away and really don't have any history, other than his family recalls they came back from WWII with a relative. No experience with swords. Just trying to figure out how to figure the value so I can make a decision what to do with them. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
