Ray Singer Posted February 8, 2025 Report Posted February 8, 2025 Your sword is a WWII era shingunto and the blade is Showa era and signed Sadaharu. There are several threads below which maybe helpful to read through. https://www.google.c...rome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 2 Quote
george trotter Posted February 8, 2025 Report Posted February 8, 2025 Hi Robert, It looks like the smith name is SADAHARU. I can't find anything except there were two smiths of this name working in Bingo province in the 15-16 century, but yours seems more likely modern WWII period. Maybe some blade photos would help...any date on the other side of tang? Regards... Oh, Ray beat me to it. 1 Quote
