Thanks for the information. The blade does not have a fine appearance... it makes sense that it is a factory blade!

This sword was collected by my father. The sword is identified as having belonged to Major Takazo Mutaguchi. It came with a military war crimes charge sheet named to the Major. It is a Japanese officer's sword in standard World War Two mounts. The blade shows a lot of use, but is signed. I would like to have the naming on the tang translated. Any help appreciated. James

I am in Canada. I would consider shipping the swords to a reputable collector.

I would consider selling the long swords. Is it possible to get a valuation on this forum?

Thank you for the information on the other two swords I listed. This signature is on a tanto with very nice fittings with gold accents. I would estimate that the fittings are from the 1800s as the securing peg is through the handle is threaded.

Second Sword

Hello, I am new to this forum. I have a few family owned swords that I would like to get identified as to the maker. The first signature is from a WWII naval sword, the second signature is from an army one.
