Here is wakizashi with cutted nakago.
Please help recognize what is the age and who is the swordsmith.
I think the kanji on nakago is 発 (hatsu)???

Yari

Submitted by tokashikibob on Fri, 2013-01-11 15:26

Picked up an old yari last weekend, I can't make out the last kanji. I think it may be Seiji then something. Any clues on the last kanji character?

Semper Fi,

Restoration

Submitted by rexscarlet on Mon, 2012-12-31 16:25

Hello again all, (and thank you again Stan)

Any recommendations as to where to get the sword restored?

http://nihontoclub.com/discussions/2012/12/31/Wakizashi-tang-translation

This I am sure will be an endeavor; swords worth, verses cost to restore, verses worth after restoration, etc.

Thank you.

Hi Stan,

Happy New Year! Hope all is well with you guys.... It's been some time since my last post.. I would like to ask what can you say about this sword? I would appreciate any comments? also If possible an interpretation of the paper work in Japanese..I Really lost here... The guy who is offering me this sword claims that it is the NBTHK registration papers? Please shed some light to it.

Regards,
Jo
