That is really interesting! Thank you so much for the information. Tyler

Here are a few more pictures. Sorry I only have my phone as a camera right now so not the best pictures, but hopefully a little more visible then the others. Thanks! Tyler

I'll try and upload a few more pictures of the entire blade today. Thanks!

I will work on getting some better images with a different camera. Thanks for the help!

Hello all! appreciate any help in translating a Japanese sword that my Great grandpa brought back from WW2. Ive always been fascinated with its history and finding out how old it is. Ive done quite a lot of research on the characters on the blade but haven't been able to get very far. Thanks for your time! There is a small blade that is attached to the mounting itself, the characters on this small blade are illegible to me. Then, there are the characters on the main blade itself along with one on the bottom of the tsuka. Tyler Wood IMG_4166.HEIC IMG_4165.HEIC IMG_4164.HEIC IMG_4162.HEIC
