Thank you 😀

OK, will do some gentle care later. That's the hose for my petrol can 😆

Don't have any daggers unfortunately.. I've removed the handle as the chord just fell to pieces but cannot see any markings on the tang. I don't want to try running any rust off just yet...

Would be great to get some who knows what they are looking at to have a look. I'm not planning to try and do any restoration myself as I wouldn't know where to start..

Thank you. I've been trying to look through Japanese figures. Here's another pic (with an 1810 du Klingenthal French Napoleonic sword also in the garage):

Thanks for the advice. I'll post some more pictures later.

Yeah, it's not in great condition. Still very sharp though..

Hi I'm a new member and have been given an old sword that my late father acquired many years ago. I'm trying to find out some info on it but not sure where to start. It's not in very good condition unfortunately and the chord and handle are in bits and the blade is very rusty. There are no marking that I can see on the tang but there are markings around the collar. As I was trying to remove the handle the chords fell apart but I did notice that there were pieces of paper under the chord which, I believe, helps with the wrapping of the handle. I was hoping someone may be able to help with any info on it. Thanks Steve
