Bruce Pennington Posted June 14, 2022 Report Posted June 14, 2022 Dave, I assume no date on the other side? Quote
Nihondave Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Posted July 2, 2022 Wow thank you very much everyone!! Quote
Nihondave Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Posted July 2, 2022 And just for records sake. No date or any scribing of any sort on the other side of the blade. While I am no good on the Kanji, I can confirm it is a genuine blade. With direct contact to the WWII Veterans grandson, who brought it to me. 1 Quote
