Hello members. I would like to thank you all in advance for any help you could give me as to the origin of this. My father-in-law brought this back from China after the war along with a samurai sword. I took it to a shop and the guy said it was probably a Chinese copy due to the crooked letters and the sloppy marks. It would be nice to know the story behind the manufacture of this and so I thought I would ask the group for help. Any assistance would be appreciated. There are 9 pics of it and I'll see if my uploading works. If not, I'll try again. Thank you, Scott
