ToxicTroublermaker Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So I've had this sword for quite awhile, it was something my granddad had from, as far as I know, WW2. I know that the sword itself is something Asian however the symbols on the blade I can't seem to place. If someone could help me out with this I would be grateful. The first 2 pics are just to show the sword itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnworthySeraph Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Came for a super secret in game sword. Left with an IRL sword that really isn't related to Warframe at all. (This should be in Off-Topic) (No idea what they symbols are btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityOfTrees Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Can't you just google the symbols or take it to someone who knows for translation? It might just be tides though. As in symbols for tides. Edited August 22, 2015 by BeeOverlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvAeons Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) literally the easiest thing to do is find a forum or local blade arms specialist. some markings are mostly likely craftsman's name (more likely hidden on tang or behind guard), provincial marking of where the wielder hailed from or year/date and maybe military regime markings. the wooden handle style and broad blade tip are baffling though : / Edited August 22, 2015 by OvAeons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-_Symbol_- Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Theese wave symbols have meaning. actually it means how high rank had its master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Grihaly Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I would have guessed Japanese, but those are definitely not kanjis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
