need help identifying a sword

I have a sword I need help identifying. Any help would be appreciated

Help wanted about kanji

Hi I have recently bought three katana's from a Japanese sword seller. A Munetsugu that is a straight sword signed Bizen No Suke Munetsugu. A Nio Mitsukiyo dated 1550 with NBTHK Hozon papers. And a Yoshimori katana? The seller gave me some info about the sword. I have my doubts about the date, early edo period 1640.And about the name. Can someone tell me what the signature says about this?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings, Ed

WWII Wakizashi Signature Authinticity Help Needed

I am very new to sword collecting, in fact this is my first (hopefully) authentic piece. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Any info good or bad is better than none. I have always been interested in the Japanese Samurai and would just like to learn more about the making and history of the best edged weapons ever made.

1st edition W.M. Hawley's Japanese Swordsmiths 1966 1967

Good day, I rather lucked into this two volume set, they are gorgeous, but a bit beyond my humble needs. It would seem they would be better appreciated and would find better use among the members of this site. If anyone could give me an idea of what a fair price for this would be, it would be much appreciated. Cheers!

Yoshimori Tsuba

Can anyone tell me the value and the age of this tsuba please? I belive it is Yoshimori from the castle town of Hogi in Nagato province.
