Hi, I have recently been gifted with an old katana. From the stories I got from the owner who gave it to me seems is from WWII, I've got the tsuka out and I found out that has an engraving and I would like to know what states on it.
Sorry for the quality of the picture the katana needs some restoration.

Thanks in advance!
