  1. So far it has been both confusing and challenging! I will hold on to this one for sentimental purposes- and will continue my hunt for others! Thank you Bob
  2. That really helps! I can live with the condition as it is. Definitely starting a long journey!!! Thanks again.
  3. I really appreciate it!! Not a poker player LOL!!
  4. I appreciate you clearing things up. Where would I get it professionally polished? I am gradually diving into this ocean of information.
  5. does this mean that there is no way to establish origin or actual bladesmith and age? I am really confused now...
  6. interesting... thank you!
  7. LOL! It was either a sword or a strange lamp shade collection!!
  8. This gives me a direction- much appreciated
  9. Thank you Grey, I would like to have it polished - but if the defects are too overwhelming, I guess it would be a waste. I don't plan on selling the sword, but it doesn't make sense to throw potential purchase money on another sword away on this project.
  10. Okay, that makes sense.
  11. Thank you for the care instructions. I will follow them closely. There was no metal collar with it. and, oddly, the scabbard is sealed - the handle is not. Is that normal?
  12. Thank you Blazeaglory! I paid $150 for it. I was under the impression that polishing might hurt the value? Please advise!! Thank you Chris W. - the blade is 20 inches to Kissaki. 25.5 inches overall. Here are the photos you requested. I really appreciate the assistance in this. I have been a knife collector for 40 years, this is my first sword, I am addicted!!!
  13. Hello, I am new here - please pardon my ignorance! I recently stumbled on a rough Wakizashi at a garage sale, it was at a fair price and I couldn't resist. I am hoping it is genuine. Can anyone help me with this?
