Good morning,
I am new to the group and hoped to get some help learning more about a sword my grandfather had brought home from Japan during the war (WWII). I recently came into possession of this blade and know little about it.
I carefully removed the handle this morning hoping to see some writing but didn’t see anything. After some online research, it sounds like the shape and design of the tang can reveal a lot. My grandfather thought it to be roughly 400 years old but I have nothing to support that. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
