well i am no sword expert, hence why I be asking these questions....
For all i know it could very well be made in china....
thats why i want to get some information on what the inscriptions say...
I might look at the makers mark by removing the handle as David suggested...
The previous owner explained that this was a shrine sword and not a battle sword, hence the curved handle.
the sheath and handle is all made from brass. its quite heavy to carry around on the battle field......
Thanks to every one for all your input so far...I didnt expect it would generate much interest.... I just thought i might get one simple reply..."the inscriptions mean...bla bla bla bla"
