This time a wakizashi, mumei, Soten fittings in leather covered civilian mounts, with a suspension ring. Blade length tip to notch 56cm, sori 15mm. It is a reasonably hefty blade. 

An idea of possible period would be appreciated.

Good Day Neil, I'm relatively new to this so I will take an uneducated stab at this. My guess is a Sengoku era, Mino, Katateuchi I could be very wrong but that's my guess. I am interested to see if I'm right or wrong.

oups, comment deleted after I reread your first post and realized it was a Wakizashi and not a katana...
