  1. I had the inscriptions interpreted. Next I need to find a good appraiser. Sword Inscription.pdf
  2. Yes it is red and brown. My Dad always told me it came from a Major. Thanks
  3. I don't mind driving to get to the right person if there is one in Florida. A friend told me he knew a guy in the St Petersburg/Clearwater area, but he passed away a few years ago.
  4. Thanks for the help. I need to find some Choji oil. Could anyone the who reads Japanese be able to interpret or do I need to find a sword specialist? I don't know of any in my area north of Orlando but there may be.
  5. What is the best way to clean the blade or should I leave it alone until I can get it appraised?
  6. There are no additional markings on the sides or edges.
  7. If you need any better photos just let me know! Thanks
  8. Thanks, I really appreciate the help.
  9. I will have to look for more stamps I concentrated on what I took the photos of. Thanks once again! Will look tomorrow.
  10. As far as I remember the blade is as my Dad got it in WWII and has never been cleaned.
  11. Please see the photos in this thread. I will take the full length and tip and upload them as well. Thanks again for you help.
  12. Thanks again, I didn't get back to it yesterday. My Dad always said it was from a Japanese Major. Once I get it apart, etc then I want to get an honest/accurate appraisal done. I probably should have it insured.
  13. Thank you very much. I will be careful when I take it apart. I will have to see what I have to properly hold and clean it. Any suggestions on where to purchase the correct items would be appreciated.
