Thanks for all of the input fellas. Grandaddy was very active in keeping up with the Railsplitter's groups, so I have a lot the info. His pictures are amazing. Many are battlefield photos and some are from the liberation on concentration camps. He was truly a hero in a generation of heroes. I miss him terribly and I'm glad he chose to leave some of his history with me. I was his only Grandson to serve Active Duty in the military and it meant a lot to him. I will take some photos of the sword and post them. It is in excellent condition. The surface spots are small and there are only two of them.
