Bruce
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. here are the photos you asked for.

Thanks! This sword highlights the importance of not rushing to label swords as fakes. If it weren't for the Java inscription on the nakago, everyone would have immediately called this a Chinese fake!

Jay,
The picture quality is pretty low, but from what I see, the one on the left was a civil sword fitted for the war and the one on the right is a Type 98 Japanese officer sword. Pictures of the nakago (tang) of each will tell us more.

Hello Mr Bruce. I was wondering how i would go about getting my sword registered and or paperwork made to describe, etc. Can you help? Thanks in advance

Matt,
I'm not really educated on that. I believe you have to submit the blades to Shinsa. They used to have traveling Shinsa events, but COVID pretty much shut that down. The really big method is to ship your blade to one of the guys in Japan and have them submit it to Shinsa over there. But that is time consuming and expensive.
I would ask Brian or Stephen. They would know for sure. There is talk of one happening in San Francisco in August:
The guys on that discussion could likely help you too.
