Hi, i need some help and i'm here . i live in France and i started a tiny collection of Japanese sword ( tantô, gunto... )
i have this wakizashi. it is not in great condition ( i bought it in this bad condition ).
i'm looking for some informations... the hamon is almost invisible, it seems to be suguha ( i'm not sure ).
blade is Hira, mune is maru ( i'm sure is the original shape )
but polish is very bad and it seems the former owner do some bad thing with very fine sand paper... i see some hada
I would like know how old is it
what is this inscription on the tsuka ?
and if you have any others informations, i take.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english
