Thank you Guy.I was hoping it had who it was made for or something cool like that.What about the little arsenal mark and what time period is the blade?

[ghp95134]

Only half the arsenal mark shows ... and I thought it said "INDIA" .... phew ... actually it is 関 for Seki. The stamp dates the sword between ca. 1926 ~1945.
