Kantaro, I guess old wasn't the right wording. I figured I'd best start a new post beings that the last activity on that post was back in 2019. I'm still new at this lol.

Gentlemen, thank you for imparting even more knowledge on me, it's truly appreciated, it's a beautiful sword and to know it has an uncommon makers name make this all the more exciting! Thank you again! -Joe

Oh my goodness I didn't I reposted because I saw how old that post was!

Thank you MikeR, this is the first sword I've ever owned so my knowledge is certainly lacking. Japanese equipment,firearms,bayonets,and uniforms I'm confident in, but this is a whole new ballgame for me.

I really appreciate that! I've tried to translate it but these apps are worth a darn. But it does make me feel better knowing it wasn't a thrown together piece post war to sucker some unwitting GI.

I recently came into possession of this naval sword, the only thing I know of it was it was sent home by a GI stationed in Japan between 1946-1947. Just looking for others thoughts on it because there is so much on the internet it's mind boggling!

I recently came in to possession of one of these swords and if anyone can give me information on it from the photos it would be truly appreciated.
