Hi again guys, i have posted this blade before but wondered if anyone could add anything else, i found out from the net that it is a U no Kubi Zukuri, known as Cormorant Neck, thats all i know as yet, so was hoping someone could fill in the rest, era made, would be a start , where they forged the same as nihonto? are they classed as such, Peter

Hello guys, i got another wakizashi today and wonder if i could ask again for some input on it, it is mumei it has the kashira missing, munuki are hare, and butterfly and flower the tsuba seems to have been painted and have dragon on both sides with a little gold coming through and seems to be signed, the tang has been shortened, badly, showing the inner metal, as for the blade, help needed to date, many thanks, Peter
