Brian Posted Saturday at 04:58 PM Report Posted Saturday at 04:58 PM Hi all, Friend asked me about this one. It's a wakizashi, and I know it isn't Nihonto. I assume it's Chinese, but was wondering which mei this is. I think Paul Chen, but if anyone can confirm it would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted Saturday at 05:06 PM Report Posted Saturday at 05:06 PM Yes it is Paul Chen/Hanwei and I believe from 1999 - signature would be 中国大連陈朝波己卯年 If your friend has pictures of the fittings it will be very easy to identify the model as Hanwei only makes specific models and not custom pieces. 2 Quote

PNSSHOGUN Posted Sunday at 02:22 AM Report Posted Sunday at 02:22 AM Looks like an early "Shinto" Wakizashi: https://casiberia.co...nto-wakizashi/sh1015 Quote
Brian Posted Sunday at 08:56 AM Author Report Posted Sunday at 08:56 AM Thanks. Agree, although it's likely a very early one, as it has no hi in the blade. Quote
