Excellent video.

The aluminium scabbard dates it to circa roughly 1942. If you carefully push out the small wood pin in the handle, you can remove the blade and check the signature.

I have some swords my Grandpa gave to me that he got in WW2, told me how he got them he was allowed to select a few and the rest were pushed over the deck of ships into the sea. But I'm having a hard time finding someone that can tell me about them. One of them I was able to get help on the internet on it and it has the name Tanaka Shinsaku writen on the scabbard
