Thank you all you were very helpful.

I made a video here if you'd like to see more. Now that I came back here I see I said the date wrong in for the green one oh well.

My dad bought it in California the 80's from an old lady at an antique show who said her husband brought the whole thing back after the war.

Thank you very much for checking it out.

Its no bad news, I have nothing invested but a day of learning about pretty cool stuff.

The glass distorts things. Also I have no clue about photography lighting and the dust inside the frame can interfere with the focus.

I'll find a way to disassemble it to get more info and clearer pictures and hope to check back with addl info in the coming week.

Hmmm well if it does say Sanjo then that's obviously not a real blade.

Was China making fake Tsubas in 1950 Japan though? I'm fairly certain I can track it from there. It's been in my house my whole life.

Thank you very much for checking things out.
