Hey guys,
My dad passed away last summer and I recently came across this WWII Japanese officer sword that my grandfather recovered when he was serving during the war. My dad never really told me much about it other than that it suffered some major fire damage at some point in time (which is obvious from the pictures). I'd like to get it refurbished if it's possible from a reputable blade smith. Does anyone have any recommendations on a guy who would specialize in that sort of thing? Thanks in advance.
