A very fine image, Jack. I see that you used the 80-200 Nikkor. Colors and image quality are awesome. Looks like the camera and lens are a great combination.

A great photo of this sword and a poignant history behind it. I retired with 35 years of military service, I have an enormous respect and admiration for those who served like you father did.
