My father then gave it to me. I'm looking to rehome it to someone who cares more than I do. i have had the writing on the scabbard Losely translated 肥前島原之住居原庄右衛門之遺刀 I think this would translate as "the inherited sword of Ihara Shôemon, resident of Shimabara, province of Hizen". The surname could also be read as "Ibara" or Inohara". [Shimabara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimabara,_Nagasaki) is a city in the Nagasaki prefecture Quote
ROKUJURO Posted Sunday at 06:05 PM Report Posted Sunday at 06:05 PM Gray, this looks like a (heavily damaged) WAKIZASHI (not wakazashi), and it has nothing to do with WWII. Although it is in bad condition, it should NEVER rest on concrete or any other hard surface. 1 1 Quote
