OK thank you. I wouldn'y feel confident enough to take apart the handle to see the tang. I am located in the UK

I will post some better pictures as soon as possible. Would I be able to polish them? The mounts are not perfect. I am pretty sure the bottom one's handle is ray skin or shark skin. Which one is the nakago? And what does that mean? And does anyone have more information on them? Like would they have been army officer swords?

A few hundred US? The top one is still in good condition and still very sharp, the bottom one has lost its edge a bit. I took the pictures with my phone but can get more once I can use a decent camera. I don't want to sell them but other family members do. I think it would be shame to get rid of a part of my grandfather's history.

Hello there, We found two Japanese swords my grandfather brought back from his time in Japan in the war. Could anyone give me any information on them? The pictures aren't great but I can take more if necessary. Thanks, Wes
