Hi All

 

I am hoping someone can help. I have an O-Wakizashi staying with me. I have registration papers for it that state the smith was a Nagamitsu of the Muromachi period. 

I understand there were many smiths called Nagamitsu but I wondered if the signature allowed for narrowing down the date?

I would be very happy if anyone could help.

Picture attached.

Registration papers do not typical give assessments on age. I have never seen one that went beyond stating mumei or any extant inscriptions (plus other vitals). I am guessing it is the same for your torokusho, that it simply states Nagamitsu, but please do share a photo.

Thanks for the replies. I have tried to get as close up as possible as well as more general shots. I can get shots of the torokusho if needs be. If you need something more specific let me know :)
