Oliver

I would like to say thank everyone that answered my enquiry with re: to my sword. I’m very thankful to all the imput I have received. oliver

Hi once again. Bruce you asked me for some other photos of the blade and fittings, I apologise for taking so long to put them on here. So if you require that I get photos of different angles please let me know. Oliver

Thanks for the info so far, I will upload more pics of the blade, fittings, ect…. As soon as I get enough time to take a few more. I really look forward to the breakdown of the sword smiths carving insignia’s. I was wondering why it was so difficult to get a clear photo of the stamps. Once again thank you and I’ll get some more pics up soon.

Hello to all. I’m hoping I may be able to get some help in identification of the stamps on this katana blade. I’m seeking personal knowledge about the blade. I think it may be out of my field at this point, but I’m sure the required information will be stored as I look to this facet of starting a collection. It is my belief that another handle was placed on the katana during service in ww2. I have been led to believe the blade Pre-dates that era. So if anyone can help me I would be very grateful. I have included pics of blade. thankfully Oliver
