Hi All,
Not sure if posting in the correct area? New here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm in Australia. I recently inherited a Japanese sword from my father. It was my grandfathers. He brought it home from the pacific after WW2.
I have a general interest in WW2 and would love any insight available as to the swords likely age, the type of sword, the identifying marks, value, anything special/notable about it?
I can take additional photos or describe specifics if required. Happy to discuss. I also know the very basic story of how my grandfather supposedly acquired the sword if interested.
Many thanks
edit: photos didnt come through. I'll try adding just a couple..
