  1. This is great help. And so quickly! Thank you, Jens
  2. I appreciate your reply, Franco and attach pictures of the blade and koshirae. The largest possible. sincerely, Jens
  3. Thank you very much, Veli! Your information is a gift to me. I enclose two images of perhaps better quality. They have the max size allowed by this website. yours, Jens
  4. This wakizashi was bought in Copenhagen in 1973. Previous owner did not treat it very well, but I cherish it and want to keep it. I post a message in the hope that some experienced member of this community can give me ANY cues to the age and origin of it. I believe it was made in the 17th century but have absolutely no data on it. Nagasa is 44 cm, Nakago 16.7 cm, Sori 1 cm. The scabbard and fittings are quite loose and I wonder how much it has been tampered with. I shall gladly spend time trying to look up the Kanji in the mei, but as the picture shows, they are hard to trace because of rust. Maybe they speak to some knowledgeable person among you? Sincerely yours, Jens Olesen, Copenhagen.
