White Belt
Hello all, I am looking into researching my katana i have had for about 20 years. I do know it is real especially judging by the handle is real ray skin under silk wrapping with obvious differential hardening on the blade. What i am looking for is to understand what the blade markings mean and where to find the makers mark. This sword found me as the shop it came from did not have it on display.. it was mostly hidden on a top ledge in its box near the ceiling of the shop. I saw it out of the corner of my eye and the shop owner closed up for the day and then gifted it to me after inquiring about the box. thank you
