Thank You my friend, you are lifesaver! Edward G : :D -

The following are pictures of a gendaito tang. Please help translate the sword smiths name and verify the date, I believe the date side says 1937. As always Many Thanks!!! Edward G.

Thank you all for your input. I will be the first to admit that I am not a know it all type person. I concede that it seems clear from the posts on this subject that this sword is indeed not correct to all the references! Thank you again for all the important information provided by each of you. I appreciate your efforts. Life is a learning process, sometimes filled with disappointment. Thanks Again Edward G.

I am sincere when I say thank you to both Matt & Ron for your opinions on the inscription. I can see that in Fujishshiro it is not an exact match, but way off is an exaggeration I think, perhaps not an exact match, but then no one I know would sign their signature exactly the same each time. I agree that the kiku does not have pointed petals. Opinions are what I am interested in, so please continue with the comments. Thank You Edward G.

Good evening: This Wakizashi is a recent acquisition. As you can see it has the kiku and is signed Omi No Kame Hisamichi. However, I am not sure it is genuine or gimei. You thorughts and opinions are welcomed. Thank you Edward G.

Good Morning all: Please help with Mei translation. I believe the sword maker's name is Yuki Yasu, and most likely Shin Shinto Period. I cannot translate the other characters. Thank You Edward G.

sorry I do not have any pictures of the blade, it is Wakizashi length in poor condition. One last question on the subject, what time period would you say this smith worked? Thanks Edward G

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL who have or will contributed later to this post. However, to answer the question Negative, writing is only on one side of the tang. Edward G. :D

Hello members: Attached are a few photos of a short Wakizashi that I told a friend I would try to findHello out what it says. Please give me your thoughts on the photos. The old sword is not in very good condition, but it looks to be in the form of a converted Naginata into a sword. Thanks in advance! Edward G.

Good Morning to all, I am at a loss as to what the translation on these prints say, I would assume it is a maker's name, date, and location. Please view them and give me your thoughts, Thank You. Any assistance is very much appreciated. Edward G

Thanks to all who responded, I think I will just leave it as is. Edward G. :D

Good Afternoon All: I am restoring a metal saya for a WWII Japanese NCO sword, does anyone know an over the counter paint color that might be a close match, maybe a hobby shop paint?" Thanks Edward G
