Hello good people!
I have a question regarding the sword in the picture. The stamp looks military (and fake?) but I wondered if it was in any way normal to inscribe a name as it is (Hideya..?) instead of on the tang.
i’m sorry if these are obvious questions but I know very little. Could this be a regular factory made officers katana? The tsuba and ray-skin and other details seem to be of much higher quality than I would expect in a reproduction as well.
Respectfully from Sweden,
