Nice tachi the soldier got home. Otherwise nice late war NCO, congrats.

I agree Gunto, looks like he got the "pick of the litter" so to speak.

Interesting how deeply the serial numbers are stamped into the blade, it usually seems that the numbers are often lightly stamped on this kind of late war NCO.

クリスチャン "Christian" isn't a very Japanese sounding name, so I imagine this was acquired during the occupation and Chris had some nice Japanese fellow write his name in Japanese for him.

Nice Ron! Its always interesting to see how vets got their items enhanced a bit.
