Thanks Bruce. No stamping above the mei and no stamping on the other side.

This is the other sword my grandfather brought back from WWII. The sheath is wood and the signature is longer. I also noticed deep scratches in the tang which is different from the other sword. Can anyone help me identify it/learn more about it? Thank you all so much for your input.

Thank you for your reply. That is very interesting information. I checked the blade and could not find any stamp. Here are some additional pictures that may help.

Hello I was hoping someone could tell me a little bit about my grandfather’s sword from WWII. He brought back two of them. Any information would be appreciated.
