Hello,
I recently bought my first Nihonto ( a vet bringback mumei Wakizashi ) and have been studying both it and as many sources of information as I can find in hopes of making an informed guess at it's age/ origin. During such study I came across a similar blade ( for sale ) with the exact same Habaki as my blade. How rare is this? Should it have any bearing on my thoughts about my blade?. Any opinions are appreciated.
Thanks,
R. Wade
