Thanks Bruce! I had no idea it was an officers sword it was handed down to me with no real history other than it was brought back from the war by a my uncles girlfriends grandfather. Thanks for the links on how to take care of the sword and the information

Thanks Russ! apologies for the poor image and appreciate the advise :)

Hello all, New to nihonto and after a hand reading this mei. I've chalked the strokes and shot both faces of the nakago (attached). For what it's worth, the short face's top character looks like 國 to me, and the longer face seems to be a full six-ish character signature — but I'm very much guessing. Any read on the smith, a possible date, or whether the signature looks genuine would be hugely appreciated. Happy to provide measurements, more photos, or anything else you need. Thanks! Justin
