    Throughout my martial arts career, I have always been told that there were/are no left handed swordsmen.

    Sending PM.

    Whoever did the sanding to remove rust has already damaged the geometry; that should not be done. Please post entire nakago (bare blade handle area) both sides.

    +3 for Kanenaga, nice old warrior sword!

    Sign up was quick and easy for me as well.

    Shinto probably.... would look nice polished, but the polisher would have to correct some geometry issues from an amateur's fiddling.

    One thing that can be said about polishing by an experienced polisher is that the sword will always end up looking better, even if it is not possible to be perfect due to structural flaws. The Japanese saying was something to the effect of....better to wear away than rust away.

    1500s🧐 maybe.......
  9. SAS
    In my opinion there is no way to make that determination^^^^ without the sword in hand and with experience in polishing rusty damaged swords.

    Condition is poor but there may be a lot of potential there.....the habaki is quite fancy, which usually indicates a good sword. More knowledgeable people will comment soon, I am sure.

    Surely someone can pay them a visit?

    Early Shinto based on shape and hamon, too bad about the nakago, have to see it in hand to see if it can be rescued.
  14. SAS
    Possibly silver?
  15. SAS
    I like that tiger!

    There are some hike, but i actually think the activities are easy to see....I would call the polish a bit stark but not poor. Lots to look at! Worth shinsa imo.

    Does not seem that way to my eyes.

    Please keep that wire brush and any other "cleaners" away from the sword!

    Seems odd he is not a member here

    Wakizashi

    Guessing late Koto....
  21. SAS
    Yeah, me too, since if no one knows him here on NMB, it is unlikely to be legit. I am no expert in Photoshop but those swords do not look like they are really there.

    Wakizashi

    Maybe a cut down katateuchi resized to wakizashi size.

    I haven't listed it yet, but when i do, my signed Aizu Kawachi no Daijo Kunisada (1680s) wakizashi in shirasaya will be (is) for sale for $1600.
  24. SAS
    And who might "Jason Queen" be...?
  25. SAS
    I agree with Brian that a different hand did those mei; i don't know if there was more than one generation that signed that way, worth researching if you are looking to acquire the sword.
