Hi guys, Encouraged by your kind responses and expertise, I decided to post the last Japanese sword I have... Again I have no idea about it, it looks old to me but to me old is 19th c... There is a signature but extremely difficult to read I guess? Thank you for your help Kubur

Hi Guys, I had the bad idea to Google "good books on Japanese swords" and the amount of results/responses was a bit scary. Do you have any recommendations for good books with a lot of pictures, a kind of top ten if you wish. Thank you Warmly Kubur

Dear Peter, Thank you very much indeed for your very useful message. Yes it's a lovely sword that I got with another sword from Vietnam. In fact I was biding on the vietnamese sword and it was a good surprise when I saw the Japonese tanto(?). Kubur

Thanks for your comments guys Actually i bought it for the tsuba. I will open the sword later, I prefer to be cautious... Thanks for the link about etiquette. Is it normal to have two pegs holes instead of one??

Hi Guys I have more photos for you. It was a bit difficult to remove the hilt that was blocked by some rice papers (with inscriptions). The tang is signed. What do you think, someone is able to read Japonese? Best, Kubur

Hi Guys, I got two wakizashi. The blades are very different. Any idea where they come from and their age? and if they are wakizashi... it's not my area of expertise... Thank you Best wishes Kubur

Dear Matt, Dear John, Dear Jim, Thank you very much Japanese swords are not my field. I can just say that the blade is in poor condition, rust and the tip was cut and resized. Overall it is still a nice blade to me. all the best kubur
