Last year I acquired a sword that came mounted in a military tsuka and a plain honoki saya. The saya has a few characters on it that I was able to have a friend who reads Japanese translate and relayed to me that it is actually a personal name. I imagine this could possibly be the soldier who owned this sword at one point. Is there anyway to research information on Japanese Vets? Or are all these records lost?
