What is a Yokote?

You did, but I wasn't sure if that stuck or not because we cannot read the Tang. What a dear you are.

I think I'll give it to my daughter who is 7. I'll let her know what it is, if I can. We still don't know what period it is from I gather. I want to thank everyone who put their time & patience into this for me. God Bless you all. Karen Hope I wasn't to much of a pain in the neck.

Know that I can do. Because when I upload it to this site it is too big and I don't know how to resize the bloomin thing. Brand new computer & printer. Thank you I have 3 different photos of the sword

Well I have tried all day to get the pictures uploaded but I have failed. I get comcast on tuesday, maybe by then I can email the pics somehow to somewhere.

Ok thank you i will take a pic of it tomorrow. thank you

The only picture I have of the sword is the picture I found on the web at geocities military website.

My father picked this up when he was serving in the pacific in WWII. I finally took it apart to see if it is real. It is made out of steel. It looks exactly like the picture of the Shin-Gunto sword. I even have the tassells on it. There are no stamps or signatures on the blade, only on the spacers. On every spacer it is stamped 79. I need to know if this is a fake sword or not. My father always told me that it was a real Japanese sword. Thank you very much Karen in Big Pine Key, FL
