Not long ago I inherited a sword from my grandfather, which I assume he took off a captured Japanese Naval officer WWII. I received it with a note saying it was a Hiroyasu blade c. 1346 but that it had been remounted and scabbarded with standard Jap WWII naval fittings. I haven't touched the blade, but on a close inspection I can see what appears to be a tiny rust patch.
I've looked on the net but can't find much info. So does anyone know where I can track down anything further on the swordsmith, and where to get hold of someone who is qualified to remove the rust and polish up the blade.
I thought some of you guys in here would be my best bet. Any help much appreciated.
