[QUOTE="VerySneaky, post: 14867796, member: 109959"] Sorry for your loss, I hope you were able to learn from him and hear his experiences. First, I am no expert, but: "Katana" or "Wakizashi" or "Shin-Gunto" or "Kai-gunto". Shin-gunto were the blades carried by Japanese NCOs. Look for serial numbers (also check if hilt and blade SN match), any Japanese kanji (letters), a cherry blossom near the hilt or on the guard, or logos as you would if you were buying something for yourself. If there are any of the tassles left, the color of the tassel was indicative of rank. [/QUOTE]
