Thanks brian. I was reading a article on kodachi I thought It might be one. small blade like a wakizashi dressed like a tachi .I was hoping the brass number tag might be familiar to someone.thanks again -

Thanks Ron .hope this helps -
I would love to know what you guys make of this.it was advertised as a shinshinto wakizashi.nagasa 20"/510mm .sori 1.772"/45mm.it seems to be part of a collection no'50.

Thanks for the advice Franco my confusion was with the word size and not length. size made me think maybe width
-
17.5 is correct Steve there's no ridges across the width it's smooth and no hamon is visible thanks for the info
-
Thanks
-
I'm not sure what you mean size of cutting edge.the blade is very thin and very sharp
-
I gave up researching this a while ago no matter how long I look at it I still have no idea what I see.ive since learnt a lot can be learnt from blade shape ingraving style ect .I'm so grateful of you guys taking time out of your day to help me. you really are on another level

I think the last one is michi I've spent ages looking that one up and I've been told it's michi by the legends on here

Thanks Steve
-
Apart from the surface rust the blade looks good no chips on edge for a blade that's been refitted with new handle I would expect to see a bit more damage it looks like it's hardly been used
-
Can you make any sense of the other side maybe it could help with that last character the one that looks a bit like 33.thanks Bruce
-
Thanks raaay.i only paid £150 so it's all good
-
Gibberish was my conclusion.thank you
-
I spent a few hours trying to find some of the characters but could not make any sense out of it.im more familiar with wakis so I have nothing to compare with but it seems very heavy.thank you

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago I would be so grateful for any information.heres a list of words I wrote down trying to translate.naga mitsu the last character has me stumped.other side maybe bunko/hon/ichi/turo
