Wow! I know you hated having to part with them swords. I knowledge of these swords is very slim. Seeing the picture of the man holding a sword like this, I'm assuming these date to the WWII era. I noticed the writing in the picture, is that underneath the hand grip? If you mind me asking, what does a sword like usually go for. Not that I'm asking if your still selling, cause I'm sure you want to hold on to it. As I also want you to. I'm just curious with a sword with actual writing like that on the sword. Have you ever found out what it says?
