I went to the D-day match at Talladega and saw Dennis when I visited Creedmoor. I was surprised to hear he left. I've only been shooting in matches since 2014. I went to Perry in 2015 and 2016 and I shoot at Talladega a few times a year. I stopped going to the December Talladega match a couple of years ago after trying to shoot the M1 Carbine match when it was 23 degrees!

3 generations is amazing! I'm the first DR in my family and probably the last since my son doesn't have any interest in shooting. I shoot a lot of CMP Games stuff, but I love Service Rifle. I still shoot EIC matches since my wife is trying to get points. She's getting close to getting a leg!

I see from the pic that your grandfather was a Distinguished Rifleman. If your father was HP champ in 79, I assume he was also? Do you compete?

Aluminum can be welded in a number of ways. Gas welding aluminum has been around since the early 1900s. Today we generally MIG and TIG weld it. While it is more difficult for me to weld, experienced aluminum welders don't have a problem.

I haven't had a chance to get back, so thanks Bruce for posting the pic. In Dawson's book, it looks like the casting is pretty porous. It doesn't look of much better casting quality than yours.

I have a copy sitting by my desk. On page 167 it shows a "Paratruper's saru-te" that looks like yours.

Thanks to everyone that contributed. I decided not to buy the sword. Here's a link to the craigslist listing if anyone else is interested. The seller has two swords for sale. I'm not affiliated in any way. https://staugustine.craigslist.org/clt/d/Japanese-sword-wwii/6300007995.html https://staugustine.craigslist.org/clt/d/wwii-Japanese-sword/6300003771.html

I don't see a smaller stamp. Here's a pic of the full tang. I don't have a pic of the other side.

Any idea on the year? It looks like there were a bunch of Kanehisa's.
