psidy Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 Hello, I came across a guy selling this very small nihonto, he would like help in translating the markings on the tang and get a rough idea on what it is it worth. There are a few small chips on the edge and somesratches along the edge as if someone attempted to sharpen it. Not too bad, I'm sure a good polish would make this blade like new. Here are the pictures I took. Sorry if the quality isn't great. Thanks for the help. Mike. Quote
