1tallsword Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 hello folks. I am having no luck trying to figure out what i am looking at? first i thought date code? then question myself. it is well worn and blurry, top symbol appears to be worn off completely and this does not help my novice eyes at all , thank you in advance, Jeremy Quote
Robert Mormile Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Jeremy: The photograph / writing is upside-down. The characters are 和田良一 or Wada Ryoichi (Mr. Ryoichi Wada). It is likely the name of the man who carried / carried the sword. Robert Quote

Robert Mormile Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Jeremy: You are quite welcome. About 20 years ago I found a sword with a name and rather complete address in a small town in northern Japan. The family was still at the same address. After a chat with the town hall, I contacted the family with an offer to give the sword back but the descendants were not interested in any way. Good luck with your search for information about the soldier. Robert Quote
