My main concern on most Tsuba's floating around are the fake ones, somtimes their hard to tell.
-
Opinion's?

This blade is about as nice as they get to good to be true? The bidding is fierce with some newby. http://www.ebay.com/itm/360470231156?ss ... 1423.l2648

No sword to show I just happen to come across the parts. I think the handle is wrapped in ray skin.

Thank you.

I was hoping I can get a parts ID and dates on a Tsuba,Habaki, and a Tsuka (hilt). Thanks Dow C

I was hoping someone could make sense on this Naval sword markings. Thanks Dow C

Enclosed are pictures of a double signature Wakizashi. The blade measures 17.50 inches, total overall length 21.75 inches. Blade max width 1.10 minimum width .700. Blade has a fairly active hamon. I believe this is an early sword and I’m hoping the forum folks will agree too. Thanks Dow C

Thanks for all the replies so far. I was planning on buying this sword but that's not going to happen now. I'm glad I went to the forum first before committing myself to the purchase.
-
So it's a nice fake? Wow!
-
As promised here are the tang markings. The sword measures end to end 34.50 inches. The blade is 27 inches. Max blade width is 1.10 inches and narrow's down to .620. The tang does not appear to have been shorten. And I'm a bit surprised to see only one tang hole.
-
I did manage to get the handle off last night and discovered probably the most tang markings I have ever seen on a tang. At the moment I'm away from home due to busniess and will post more pictures in the near future.

Recent sword find here with an unusual long narrow blade. The blade appears to have been repolished. And I think it's old. Now here's the problem someone has glued the tang and the tang peg into the handle. Which means I will have to destroy the handle to see if their any any tang markings. Would a X-ray reveal any markings if present?

Here is a mark on the chop stick knife.
-
Here is another Wakizachi find no tang marks either.

Tang picture. Dow

In closed is a picture of some more odds and ends. I like the knife with the chop sticks. The handle on the top appears to be old. Dow
-
One more picture.

Recent pick up here for review and comment. The sword has no tang marks except for the knife. I'm not familiar with this type of scabbard or the material used in making it. Best Dow Cross

Here are pictures of the other items the pike type weapons are almost 10 feet long the other pole weapon does not have any tang markings, included is a Persian battle helmet. Dow Cross
-
The pole weapon came from a old woman whose husband died recently and left a lot of stuff. I also picked up another pole weapon and three pike type weapons which are about eight or nine feet long. Best Dow Cross
-
Thanks for the replies I suspected the tag that came with the pole weapon wasn't correct. Best Dow

Few more pictures. Dow Cross

These Naginata's are out of my area of expertise any help in the tang translation would be appreciated. The blade appears to have wonderful harmon.

Thanks for the infomation. Cordially Dow Cross
