Samurai Sword

[michael0257]

Can any one give me some information on a Samurai Sword that I came across? I have had several people look at it and have gotten different ideas. I have digital photos to help with the id. The handle is not wood, but metal. The blade is not rolled and has a numeric stamp at the end. I've been told it was factory made for the average solder and not a family sword. Any ideas of value?
Thanks

I can't really help you, but you may want to post this on the Sword Discussion forum. Someone there might be able to help you. Good luck, and welcome to the forums Michael. It's good to have you aboard.

Keith.
