thavngr98 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Hello all I recently came across a sword after my fathers passing and I am trying to get some background on it. Below you can clearly see the markings. My fathers side of the family has deep roots from Japan so I'm not sure if it is made for a family member or not. I'm pretty sure its a Military sword. Ill try to snap a pic of the whole sword later if needed. Thanks! Dave Quote
