Is it on the tang under the handle? Do I just remove the pins in handle and remove handle and tsuba to find it underneath? Id rather not take apart.

The reason I ask is I have one I purchased in 2004 that has been displayed in house so I no longer have a box just the wooden scabbard and blue bag. I have a local buyer/new friend/assoc and he asked me where it was marked cold steel?

I had not really ever thought much about it...

Also, are there any differences in the older swords than the new ones? I dont remember as much as I use too:rolleyes::D
I had a bunch of the old ones fixed blades and folders made in Japan back and still have few. I know the old carbon v's were Camillus made in USA and that is no longer so any info would be appreciated on value too as the price varies so much depending on source.

Thank you:)
