Hello,
I am new to collecting Japanese World War Two era swords. I am trying to interpret the Mei that is on the tang of the blade of a Kai Gunto I have. I have looked on different and web sites and in Military Swords of Japan by Fuller and Gregory with no luck and much confusion. I find it very fascinating but frustrating at the same time. It has opened up a whole new aspect of collecting for me. However back to the point I would really appreciate some help here. I have attached pics (I hope).
Thanks
Bob T
