Thank you I'll look in to them as well, appreciate it.

Thank you very much that would be great

Thank you very much for the information. Is there anyone you recommend in particular to get a shirasaya made? I think I may opt to have this done and not doing a polish as of yet. Appreciate it.

Anybody have any recommendations in the NYC area of somebody I can bring this to for possible restoration?

Thanks for the tip Grey, going to do that ASAP. Guess that means I'm ordering sushi tonight! Appreciate it. -Julius

Thanks everyone for the responses, here are a few more pics of the blade and one of the Kashira. Really appreciate this. Additionally, does anyone know someone in the NYC area that would be good to bring the Wakizashi to? I'd consider getting it fixed up a bit and rewrapped or polished; whatever is recommended. It is also missing its Mekugi and I'll need to get a new one made for it. Heres the link with more pics added. https://imgur.com/a/VqsmVAz -Julius

Hello. I was recently entrusted with a Wakizashi my great grandfather brought back from WWII. He was an officer in the Navy. I attached some pics to the imgur link below. I'd love to learn more about the sword. I'm not looking to sell it but would love any info and possible value. Thank you very much. https://imgur.com/a/VqsmVAz -Julius
