Thanks for the info guys. I ended up asking the seller if the can cancel the order, which he did. I collect swords as historical objects an fighting weapons (not so mush as art objects) so a good polish is not too important to me. My goal is to eventually have a nihonto in my collection, so I’ll research and save up for a regular wakizashi out of polish, with fittings (but still in one piece and without active rust).

Thanks Peter, it will make for a good conversation starter if nothing else

Awesome, thanks for the info 🙂

I just made an impulse buy on ebay of a mumei wakizashi, luckly I didn't spend too much on it. I don't know much nihonto, I just want to know if it’s total junk or worth the $105 I paid for it. Notice the kissaki is broken off www.ebay.com/itm/SJ-138-Japanese-Samurai-Sword-Mumei-Wakizashi-Blade-/164623416664?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=HHWSJZ2I4OcSk9jqqmDhHzZT2u0%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc
