    Thank you. I’ve been trying to figure out how to use these forum formats I’m having trouble using them from my phone. At least adding pictures. I have about 30 blades in a collection that once belonged to my Grandpa David Donovan. They are mostly rare but I still haven’t deciphered everything and I’m here for help and research. There are some puzzling ones.  This is the one I’m currently on what I know it is a Type 30 with one photo of Japanese maker marks I found calling it a Kaneshiro Sakuganki Seiko KK, ai says its series less rare one the kanji is a number 7 in Japanese to me, the other photo of maker marks says it’s an Aisan Kogyo but it’s mark is a Star K with a K that is slightly tipped forward inside the star. And I think a Nagoya symbol next to it. It has a hooked quillion and the frog is unusual but has an Asian looking stamp on the back looks like what I’ve been told is a Bulgarian frog , Czech VZ style, chinese, or ai has said it is
