Then leave it alone and no cleaning of any kind Alex

Thank you again for your insight. Where would one look for the signature if there is to be one of the Kabuto. Should the item be insured and like other antiques should not be cleaned? Thx Alex

I found two listed both in Shinto period dating 1615 and 1658 that match the name..Now is it that the blade is suspect or is it a bad period of blades to buy from...still researching Alex

Thx but they state "Signed Japanese Wakizashi Samurai Sword - Izumi No Kami Kunisada, 1600’s" that their grandfather brought back from the war

not sure what that means just want to know if it is a nice item to bid on...Taking your earlier advise on checking here first before I buy and know what I am buying thx Alex

Any opinions on this item and is it a collectable piece thx Alex

This item is on ebay and would like help in the translation and also if it is a good item Thx Alex

I love the idea....Alex
