Hello, would like to get an approximate age and signature identification of this Wakizashi. Also, on top of the tang are some marks, I am assuming they are fittings numbers?. Thank you.

I have friend thats looking at this sword can anyone tell me the name and give me some opinions on it? He should be sending me some more images in the near future.

Hi everyone.

Could anyone help me to find the swordsmith of this wakizashi ? I suppose the signature on the nakago of the wakizashi (1st picture) and the one on the kogatana (2nd picture) is from the same swordsmith.

In my opinion, the first kanji reads "KANE", and the third one "SAKU". But the second ????

Thanks.

Sylvain

Hello, just bought another sword I like. I am trying to determine age, and if the line on the mune is a crack, or opening, and is it a fatal flaw. The tsuba and fittings and menukies are all the same theme, and I believe are original to the sword. Please see attached images. Updated with 3 images of sword length and curve to help identify age.

I like this sword, very nice blade. If anyone can help in reading the signature I appreciate it.
