WW2 NCO Sword

Thanks for the offer but I picked it up! It's a little rough but the story is a solider got it from a Japanese officer from a cave in Iwa Jima. ????. I found some markings on the end of the wooden scabbard. Can anyone pick up anything?

Read each entry and it will tell you when each smith died! (^__*) winky-wink!

Oh, good grief!!! I am the guy who NEVER reads all the fine print. I guess it might prove useful now and then, huh?
