Hi all. I had a customer yesterday that got into my car and I happened to be looking at what my wife calls my “sword porn” on my ipad. He spotted what I was looking at and said he has one of those that his father in law bought back from the war along with a bayonet. He said I could have them as theyvwere no use to him. Wow I thought. Hope they are genuine. Well the sword is a civillian wak with same on the saya and a nice rat tsuba. The fuchi kashira are iron with silver inlay, looks like hollyhock. The nakago looks ubu but maybe slightly machi okuri and I can’t see much in the blade, bit of surface rust. Can not identify the bayonet yet. Will post pics soon. Nakago looks old, early shinto late koto maybe.

Not in the best condition but hey, it was free.
