I was wondering if anyone could please help me identify what the sword maker Kanehide inscribed on this side of the sword? Sorry I did not look on it when I posted my earlier translation help.
thanks,

I was wondering if someone could help me with any knowledge about this Edo period tanto Tsuba? It was on a wakizashi made in 1861 by Toshitaka. I purchased it a few years ago. It looked old like a copper tsuba but I am a new collector to Japanese swords and not sure.
thanks
The Toshitaka Made Edo period (1861) katana had these items on it when I purchased it. Just wondering if the tsuba is correct or are they period correct or later items added to the saya and kojori?
thanks,
Ron
