Wakizashi identification help

[Honya]

Hello everyone,

 

some time ago I purchased this wakizashi and I would like to ask for your thoughts what it could be. 

 

Nagasa 38,2 cm (15,04 in) 
Sori 0,7 cm (0,28 in) 
Moto-haba 2,2 cm (0,87 in) - it is a bit wider (1 mm) in upper part
Moto-kasane 0,4 cm (0,16 in) - at shinogi line, about 1 mm at mune
Weight 330 g

If any aditional photos are needed or better quality, I can try. 

 

It was (relatively) cheap, so i don't expect it to be Masamune My personal guess is that it could be naginata naoshi from mid Muromachi (I have no idea about the school). But my personal guess worth noting since I have no experience so I am very curious about your opinion.

 

Thank you very much in advance! 

 

Have a nice day 

Jan

Those consistent parallel "polishing" scratches and the hada concern me.  I'm no expert, though, so I'll leave others to weigh in.

Mino, Muromachi, naginata naoshi.

Looks like a nice naginatanaoshi Jan. Perhaps Muromachi Mino (following after Naoe Shizu, between Shigaseki and later Sue-Seki).

Rivkin beat me by 5 seconds :). Agreed, that is my feeling as well.

Thank you both very much for your help! Now I have a new direction for my studies...
