Hi All I have recently obtained a Wakizashi, which I believe bears the signature of Fuyuhiro. The blade measures 65 cm's end to end and the tsuba is inlaid with what appears to be copper, silver and gold. I have done a load of investigation online I am now more confused than before I started looking, and as I will be selling the sword I wish to describe it correctly! Any help that can be provided would be very much appreciated. Greg If required I can add more photos |

I have uploaded a picture of the tang signature. If someone could tell me the age and smith of the sword it would be of great help. |

Hi all, I'm very new to all this and apologize first up if I make some basic mistakes. I have recently received my grandfather's (what I presume to be) WW2 Japanese sword that he obtained whilst serving with the British Navy. From some of my basic research I think it is a late war Gunto mount. (Once again apologies if this is way off the mark!) I am looking for info in regard to the sword as I was unable to ask my Pop before he passed as I didn't even know he had the sword. Any information is much appreciated! I have attached some photos. |

I have made a purchase of a roughly finished blade from a Chicago hobbyist and will need some contact information. I intend to make this into a useable sword and not a display piece. Any suggestions? |

Hello all, My names Matt, I am new to the forum and I was hoping for some help with my wakizashi. I have been getting into Japanese History, obviously this has alot to do with the samurai's of japan culture etc. I am told it is Edo period but that is all I know, it isn't sharp and has said to be ivory around the mekugi pin location and bull horn in the shirasaya. please have a look and let me know what you think. http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj146/maddsh22/20160101_124525.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj146/maddsh22/20160101_124546.jpg |
