The story I got, from the guy I bought it from, said he got it from the Marine who brought it back from Peleliu in 1945. He, the Marine, said they were on higher ground and wiped out a company who were in a lower swampy area. He said they had a water cooled 1917 Browning, 6 BAR’s, a lot of Garands and lots of grenades. He said it only took 30 minutes. He, the Marine, had the sword, a Nambu pistol and a flag. He only let go of the sword.

I don’t know why, but the sight is wanting me to resize my photos. All of my other post did not want me to do that. Anyway I put it on Imgur. I hope this link works. Well I guess it did,

So, is this is a machine made blade?
Also, about what year was it made?
I really want to thank all that have helped out a new guy. It means a lot to me.
Thanks again - Kent
Upon closer inspection, I found these marks at the 2:00 o’clock position of the Mekugi-ana (peg hole). I had to use a magnifying glass to try and get a decent image. Any help to identify them would be much appreciated.
Thanks - Kent
