    Handachi koshirae are still displayed as katana right? Or can they be displayed on tachi kake also but tip down?

    Yes from my understanding this is a proclamation of a few promotions, from Meiji 41 (1908) - pre-WW2. Not sure of correct translation of the imperial court ranks Promotion of the Director of the Shokun-kyoku (Awards Bureau?) Ogyu Yuzuru from a lesser 2nd rank to 1st rank Count (edit: here is his wikipedia entry https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/大給恒) Promotion of Secretary Yokota Kanae from lesser 4th rank to 3rd rank Promotion of Secretary Fujii Yoshigo from lesser 5th rank to 4th rank

    I'm not so sure of that to be fair, there were multiple (3 or 4) generations of Echizen Kanetane, and your mei looks quite similar to the one in the link (3rd gen I think). Plus to my knowledge I don't think Echizen Seki is that often a victim of gimei

    The first one has got a mino feel to it IMO The wakizashi is interesting, signed Aizu Motooki with a cutting test.

    First one looks like 玉栄 - Tama'ei Not sure about second one maybe 菊陽 - Kikuyo

    Terrible! Was insurance taken out on the package?

    There were 4-5 generations of Inshu Kagenaga, but from my references they all kinda signed in a kind of large blocky character style like Jacques's example from Iida Koendo, not like this one.

    This area is called the 'Mune-saki/matsuba-saki’ iirc So you could describe it as a thick munesaki
