What exactly do you need? (pictures of items or just the story?)

My grandfather was on a ship headed for Japan when the bombs were dropped. Rather than being an invasion force the group became an occupation force. Among the things he brought back were two Japanese swords. The scabbard of one is creased in places because Grandpa used it to pry open Japanese supply crates. They look like Civil War-type swords. My dad has the damaged one and my cousin has the other one. I could get pictures of both.

Had they not dropped the bombs, my dad and therefore I, probably wouldn't exist.
