Hello,
I'm looking for any information that can be offered on this sword I inherited from my grandfather. It has hung on his wall my whole life (I'm 44). Unfortunately he passed away without saying much about it and I was never allowed to touch it until he passed. As the story goes he found the sword in the attic of the house he and my grandmother bought when he came back from thre war (he was in the European Theater). The guy they bought the house from had fought in the Pacific. The Tsuba is missing obviously. I can find no discernable marks, stamps, signatures or writing of any kind on the sword. The handle appears to be silk wrapped over ray skin. The inside of the sheath is wood. Best i can tell from my limited research is that it is an officer's sword from WWII, possibly a type 94 or 95. Outside of that I really only have theories about the sword, it's history and it's given condition. I'll attach photos. Please let me know if there are any other detailed photos that might help. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
