SeanD Posted September 29 Report Posted September 29 I have these pictures of a sword that was passed down through my wife’s family and her grandfather who was US military in WWII. He brought this sword back from Japan. That’s all I know. Is there anything more to it? Sorry for being ignorant about these things. Thank you for your help. -Sean Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted September 30 Report Posted September 30 Sean, You have a highly collectable sword there! Emura, even if he is middle rated, is popular in collecting circles because of his story. The whole sword is called a Type 98 Japanese officer sword, or "gunto" which is "army sword." You can read all about them on Ohmura's great site: Type 98 Gunto - Ohmura and everything about all the rest of the WWII swords: Military Swords of Imperial Japan - Gunto Quote
