<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LoveTheHunt!, post: 11802611, member: 8191&quot;]Greetings!</p><p>I am trying to research this katana sword that a friend of mine found in the shed after her husband passed away. He was a Vietnam vet, so perhaps he brought it back from overseas, but she said he never told her anything about it, so that is just a guess.</p><p>She asked me to sell it for her, so I would greatly appreciate any accurate information or even educated guesses from people who know much more than I do about swords.</p><p>The blade has no signature nor markings of any kind to indicate maker or origin. Might that suggest mass production for military use, or...? It does have a full edge.</p><p>It is fastened to a piece of PVC pipe filled with silicone adhesive. The PVC is wrapped with string for a grip. That does work well, but my guess is someone had a naked blade and added a makeshift grip. What do you think?</p><p>It does have a scabbard that fits it perfectly.</p><p>I will post a few pictures. I have and can take more, if you need to see anything better. As always, I appreciate the expertise shared on these forums. Thanx in advance!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]548698[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]548699[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]548700[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]548701[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
