Firstly a quick introduction. My name is Barry and I was directed here by Kevin of Ryujinswords, I am pleased to find a SA based website as I have family ties with South Africa and have visited many times and always look forward to returning.
I have a wakizashi that I was researching and was led to Kevin, who in turn put me onto you. I believe it may be made by Hisamichi between 1650 and 1680's but my reading of Kanji is poor and I could be completely wrong!
It's missing its habaki, has narrow straight hamon and is in need of a polish. The fittings seem to be of a later date except possibly the tsuba but any info you could give would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Barry
