    A bit late to the party, but this tag is on a sword which I recently purchased. Appreciate any help translating it.

    Additional pictures of the blade

    I should have better pictures up this weekend. Thanks for the help thus far.

    I don't know if this is a good blade or not. It has an unusual tsuka. The nihonto is as I received it. I did not clean the nakago. I'm wondering if it is a keeper or a loser and if there is anything else that you can tell me about it. Sorry if I used the wrong terms. I'm still very new at this.

    Thank you gentlemen for the help and advice. Is Singer sewing machine oil ok to use on the blade? Anyone care to give a ballpark figure as to the value of this Wakizashi as is and a value after having the handle rewrapped and blade polished?

    Some more pictures... Sorry about placing the sword on the cutting edge, but these pictures were taken before reading the care and etiquette link.

    Thanks for all the info thus far. I normally collect US and German WW2 weapons, so this is way out of my comfort zone. I'm hoping to learn a bit while I'm here, although it will be slow going for me as this stuff is very confusing to me.

    Grey, thank you very much for the care and etiquette link. A very interesting read.

    Thank you. That's a lot more than I knew about before I made the post.

    Being new to Japanese swords, I'm not good at the proper terminology of the Japanese swords or components of the swords. Can someone tell me what this sword/dagger is called? The blade is 13 3/4" long and the handle is 5" long. The tang is unsigned. The wrap around the handle is deteriorating rapidly. It falls apart as you touch it. Would it be wort re-wrapping? Any other suggestions or info would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the assistance.

    Hello all, I'm hoping you can help me translate this sword from WW2.
