Good day. My Grandfather left me these two swords. He was a WW2 veteran and I believe that these are from that era. I have done several hours of research. What I think I did find is that one sword was made in the Showa Era. I am a novice and would greatly appreciate any help to determine the maker, the year made, the region made, value, etc. by you experts out there....
Sword #1 ( pictures #1 and #2) is of a sword I believe is Showa Era made...
Sword #2 (pictures #3 and #4) I have no clue.
