Hi guys, thanks for the quick replies. When I took this to a local appraiser, he said that the sword had been shortened prior to WWII. He said it was either intentionally done due to the short stature of the man taking it into combat or it was fractured and then repaired. Here are some more pictures. I was told that given the shortened length, finding more about its history will be impossible. You all agree? Thanks again!

This sword was shortened at some point in its life (multiple punch holes in tang and short overall length). Apparently this means that any signature that was on the tang is now gone. There are a couple of markings on the blade. I would appreciate any assistance in identifying them. Thanks!
