A friend has an officer’s katana, complete with bullet hole.His father brought it home from the war. He wanted to find some way of IDing it, with the thought of returning it to the family. I’m happy he couldn’t

My late father in law had one too. After hus death his wife had it returned to the family of the Jap officer from which it was acquired.

I’m happy he couldn’tI have a couple of sabers that Dad brought back from Okinawa. I had the same thought but ultimately decided not to. They're a reminder of what Dad endured at Saipan and Okinawa.
