I have to admit that I have bought a few that had identification cards on them and wondered about doing this.... The most amazing example that I know of is when Walter Compton returned a Kunimune national treasure blade. I think that he became an instant celebrity in Japan!

I have heard repeatedly that the profits his company received for importing rights in return more than made up for it....Heard of Alka Seltzer and Miles Labs?

I was given a Japanese sword which was owned by my wife's uncle Sir George Jones . He was head of the Australian Air Force during WW11 . It had a cloth tag with the owners name etc , I did trace the owner in Japan but he died before I could get the sword to him . I asked his son if he wanted it ? He answered that I could put it , we're I sit . So I think there were some bad feelings still. It was made by Kaneiwa 1700's Thanks Geoffrey F
