Many thanks guys! I wish this forum was around when my dad was.

Thanks for the explanations guys. My father got this from a pile of weapons surrendered in a village in Northern Honshu. He was told it had belonged to a Warrant officer. I'm guessing this is just a run of the mill sword. Any idea of it's worth?

Did I offend you Stephen? It wasn't my intention. I know nothing about the Japanese language or signatures. I really appreciate all the input I've received here.

I did a Google search for, "N. Bizen (no) ju Ichiryushi Nagamitsu saku" and it took me to the website Brian posted a link to, http://www.japaneseswordindex.com/naga.htm. I'm curious why I only see two characters on my sword that match the ones pictured in "N" and they're the lower two on the sword unless the second one down on both the sword and "N" are the same just made slightly different like the "naga" is? Also, why are there eight characters in "N" and only four on the sword?

Thanks Stephen. I hope these pictures help

Thanks for the quick replies. I checked out the link you posted Brian and I see the difference in the naga character from the picture. What do the other characters above mean? Also, would it help if I took a better picture of the blade to show the hamon?

My father left me this sword he acquired during WWII and I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me about it.
