AirDog01 Posted November 7, 2021 Report Posted November 7, 2021 So I currently have two swords, one is almost finished (polishing and restoration), the second is just a cool old (1300s) wakizashi. Love em both. Just came across an interesting sword and story that I'd like to pass along and see if anybody has advice or input for a friend of mine. He came across a wakizashi in of all places a local community theater prop room - he knows enough to realize this sword shouldn't be used as a prop and managed to save it. It looks old - not just old but really old and authentic. It's in pretty rough shape, but my inexperienced gut tells me it is worth investigating its origins. I can get more pictures but I was able to snap the signature. Any thoughts on this particular signature. 2 Quote

uwe Posted November 7, 2021 Report Posted November 7, 2021 It looks like “豊州高田住守行” (Hōshū Takata Jū Moriyuki) 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted November 7, 2021 Report Posted November 7, 2021 That is more likely! Of course BUNGO TAKADA! 1 Quote
