    I will get a measurement out, sorry for the late reply I've been super busy. As soon as I find my tape I will get it overall length measurement

    Haha that's what I figured guy must have been 8 feet tall I'm about 6 feet and this thing is huge. Could you imagine a Japanese officer 100 years ago dragging a giant sword on the ground. Im not sure if people had been smaller back then like they say and Japanese people most are of smaller stature I do not believe anyone would have been able to wear this on a belt and walk around with it lmao

    Thanks all for having having a look. I've learned here and shall continue to research this model of sword. Any reason why the extra long blade ? It's a pretty mean sword heavy duty

    Guys it's been awhile since I've been on. I had recently picked up a Japanese sword. I believe is referred as Kyu gunto. ? It is a fairly massive sword with a 35" blade nothing I could find under handle for signature What would the age of this sword be ? I am fairly unfamiliar with this model type of sword https://ibb.co/bjyWnRYx https://ibb.co/7dkHHSj7 https://ibb.co/39Y8GP1y

    I am unsure . This ship log is from the USS Dade identification number apa99 attached to 54th division 18th squadron amphibious flotilla Pacific fleet.

    Ship logs are full of accounts of shooting down Japanese planes. Making landings dropping marines etc.
