Hello BSMStar,

yes, I have seen the writing on the blade. It seems that there was someone who has heard of the well known Solingen sword manufacturer Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Cie but did not know how to write it

Greetings, Helge

Solingen made great Japanese swords... Ok, once... in China... for WWI.

Happy Holidays all!!!!!!
