    Also you said it would be worth submitting in to Shinsa, how would I go about doing that? Thank you for your input and compliments

    Wow that's amazing to hear, I can check when I'm home, but I dont think it has a kissaki line, or at least it is very hard to see. What time period would the lack of a kissaki line be in?

    Here- Nagasa: 25in. Nakago: 6 3/4in Kissaki: 1 3/8in Sori: 5/8in Blade width: 1 1/8in

    It would be pretty crazy if it was anywhere near that old, the fitting are still very solid and theres no rattling. I'm thinking on on a polish job for sure, would love recommendations on where to do that. I'll get the measurements, thought I had a pic of that but idk rn

    The wakizashi is signed, yokoyama fujiwara SUKESADA are the words I remember, the katana is not signed but the tsuba is signed, the blade also looks like it has been re-shaped maybe? I'd love to see what you all think of it (Idk if the pictures are good enough, just let me know)

    Ok, and yes I have a little kit, been oiling it every month-ish since I got it. Seems likely its koto so far, that's what the original people i contacted said too. And I would never try to do anyhting besides maintenance on it, I know about that, wouldnt dream of it. Looking forward to see what other say, thank you all so much.

    Yeah, definitely was cut down. I wish I could see the file marks, any thoughts on what's visible of the hamon? Or does the overall shape say anything?

    Here's more pictures, if you need something specific please let me know. The hamon is faded, but you can still see the grain decently which is interesting.

    I've had this sword for about 2 years, and I've had a few people tell me its this and that, and I dont really know. So i feel like anyone on here will know more than me. (I can get better pictures if you need) Also worth noting that I'm completely new to this site and to collecting nihonto, only been doing it about 2 years and I've done a little research on each buy, but who knows if it is good research, that said, I'm eager to learn.
