Hi
I've recently bought a Katana, which has military grip, tsuba and scabbard.
The blade has a lovely hamon and the tang is signed.
A Japanese friend translated part of the signature as Kojima.
I'll upload photos as soon as I can figure out how to do it!
Thanks in advance.
Greg

It's a Gunto, yes, a WW2 katana made for the troops. Can't be more specific, not that good with nihonto.
I'll ask the mods to move the thread to the japanese sword section, there more of the right people will see it.
