Hi everybody
I just bought this saber and would like to know more about origin and period and also translation for the mark found on the blade.
Overall 113 cm.
any comment on it will be welcome.

I would guess that the translation "should be" Made in China very recently, by an unskilled group of people.

I am closing this thread from further discussion due to the fact that this sword is currently for sale at auction.
