I have acquired another Wakizashi. It is said to be Nobuyoshi, but not sure of era, school, date etc. I have included pics of 2 documents that came with the Wakizashi, but (blush blush!) they may be upside down. Any info appreciated. Baz |

I have aquired a Wakizashi, supposed to be Gen 1 or 2, 1390 to 1450. Smith is Nio Kiyonobu of Suo province. Any one heard of this smith. I'll try and get pics of tang posted asap. |
