Tang Reading/History/Info

Hello,

IRT E-mail conversation w/Stan, I would like to request a reading of my Wakizashi tang, if possible.

I apologize for the pictures. I don't have a really good digital camera yet.

I would appreciate anything you can tell me about this piece.

Thanks,

Justen

Pretty sure it's a Fake.

Hey everyone, my grandmother sent me a Katana that she bought, and I just want some information about it, mostly if the tang say's anything interesting. It was listed as a 'Real' Nihonto, I'm pretty sure it's just a replica, but I've been known to be wrong before, Any help with confirming this is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sword Signature Translation

Could anyone please provide a translation on the signature and any information on the smith. Thank you

Sword Signature Translation Please.

Could anyone please translate this signature. The sword is a katana brought back from the World War 2. Thank you.

AKIHIRO??

HELLO AGAIN ALL.
i posted this item before but hoping with better images will come more answers, a U NO KUBI ZUKURI (cormarant neck). the Kozuka housing is huge so any information on this piece would be appreciated, age, is it a cut down naginata naoshi or made as a wakizashi, tsuba, mountings etc, i see a turnback in the boshi but to faint to photograph,
thanks all in advance,
Peter

New Collector

Hello, I discovered this site while looking up information on three swords I recently collected which effectively jump started my collection into something that I am really proud to own.

I have however little knowledge of the vast number of swordsmiths that have spanned the history of Japan to make these remarkable pieces of weaponry. I'd like help identifying the history of these swords.

Sword 1: Showa era WWII Naval Officers sword. Theres what's been translated to a date on the other side and this is a picture of the signature. (first two attachments)

Far, I appreciated you all again. After my long propinquity in the forum is not, I could not procure the open sesame to your time-honoured life and started a changed one. I'm delighted that I am again with you.
