I will have to get that book. Thank you for the suggestion. Do you think I should remove the wrapping off the scabbard? What was an original scabbard made of? If there is any adhesive on the scabbard, how can I carefully remove it without messing it up? What kind of reproduction screws should I get to put on the grips? Also, is should I wrap the grips with anything to make it period correct?

Thanks for the information. I appreciate it guys very much. Do you have any recommendations on the best place to start to learn about this kind of a sword? Do you think it would be wise to remove the wrapping around the scabbard? Thanks, Josh

I hope this is the right place to post this. Forums.gunboards.com suggested I come out here to get more information on this sword. My Grandma passed away a number of years ago and her husband passed away over 2 decades ago. Anyways we were going through her belongings and I got this. It was her husbands. I knew he served in the Korean War, but he never did talk about it. Don't know if this is the right place to post the question, but do you know if this is a Japanese sword? The grips don't look original nor does the cloth around the scabbard. I haven't yet figure out a good way to get the grips off so I cannot check the blade manufacturer.
