Still no one ? unless three people try, I'll keep the answer to myself.

My bad, i choosed a wrong example which is a later work just before changing his mei to Ikkanshi The correct one

This is the shodai but that's not where the difference lies I put a mei of the nidai so that you can try to find it.

Do you know why you want to buy this sword?
-
Yes.

No one to try a guess ?

Nagato-Sa naginata-naoshi ?
Jacques D. replied to MyaN's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
I must add that it's the proximity of the end of the shinogi and the point of the kissaki that makes me think of a simple shobu-zukuri. A photo of a naginata naoshi has been posted, and it's clear that the shinogi ends far from the point of the kissaki, to avoid breaking the line of the boshi -
No, the position must be seen from the smith's point of view, so there's nothing to stop him from grabbing the blade and attacking.
-
No, the position does not respect etiquette: the tsuka should be pointing to the left of the smith to show a sign of peace (it is grasped with the right hand).

The wakizashi is displayed the wrong way..

Another mei with the same asking. Which generation ?
-
Ok, Moriyama san found it, As the chart he posted shows, each generation has its own way of engraving the Tsugu character. ps Sorry for the quality of the photo, I took it a certain time ago and I no longer have access to this sword.

Yasutsugu but which generation ?
