When Posting Japanese Sword Tangs For Translation
Thank you,

P.S. Very nice kozuka!

Nice blade.
A open thought on the where this was picked up from. Would assume a blade like this would be picked up from the occupation of Japan (or maybe Okinawa) and not from the one of the many other island battlefields.
Just curious on views.

Micheal i would assume from the type of sword this is from occupation im guessing.

Wow I'm loving the work on the tusba and the kozuka.
The expert on these and the translators should be along soon.
