TheGermanBastard Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I am seeking some oppinions on the possible age of this Wakizashi please. It has given us a hard time. I am unsure about the periode. Koto most probably ... but Muromachi? Or older suriage? Thank you Quote
vajo Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 The blade remember me on a seen one, Luis. The lower mekugi ana indicates me a suriage blade. I think early edo. Quote
EdWolf Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I don't think the lower hole is a real mekugi ana. It's relatively large. Just an extra hole added for some mountings? Maybe used in Ww2? Here is an interesting link about the extra hole. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/17559-shinobi-ana/ Best regards, Ed Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted October 18, 2018 Author Report Posted October 18, 2018 My feeling is that it is a Shinobi Ana placing it towards Muromachi periode Quote
