    Thank you all for your help. I don’t know much about Kanenari. Was he a good swordsmith?

    Here are more pics. It seems to be round, not oval. @lonely panet

    Is the Tsuba real? It seems pretty crude and simple to me.

    Hello all, I am new to nihonto and definitely not an expert with this style of Japanese sword so I am asking your your help. I was under the impression that all these "parade sword" blades were machine made. My question is, is this blade machine made or could it be an older wakizashi (nagasa is 24 1/4 inches long) n modern mounts. What do you think? Machine made or could it be older? Does this style of blade detach from the handle where the nakago can be visualized?

    Oli, so do you think it could be Gimei then? or is there a way to tell which generation the sword belongs to?

    Hey all, I was hoping someone could tell me about the maker and age of this sword! Thank you in advance!

    Hey all, I am talking with the seller and he sent me these pics. Before I buy, I just want to get your opinion. Can never be too careful these days. He is going to be sending me pics of the nakago soon. What do you think, genuine or fake? He says that his grandfather was a medic in the war and brought it back. Any opinions? Thanks!

    I requested the seller to send me some clearer pictures. But in the meantime I thought id post what I had to see if anyone could decipher. Thanks for your help!

    Wow! That's a lot to digest! I'm going to have to do some research on what you found out. But you are thinking its age is around the early to mid 1500's? Also my family would like to know the value in its current condition?

    my (untrained) eyes don't really see an outline on the boshi.

    @Rivkin here are some photos of the activity as best I could get it. its easier to see by the tip but harder to see by the handle. @David Flynn Thank you for your opinion! I would love others opinions as well until a consensus is reached.

    okay, I will try to get a picture of the activity on the blade for you. What is an uchi-gatana? Ive never heard of it. Is it a type of katana? Was it always this length or has it been shortened?
  23. aabderson
    Thank you Chris! I will keep all this in mind! My family wants me to ask you what the value of the sword would be currently?
  24. aabderson
    The sharpened area of the blade is 23". The length of the blade including tang is 29". The length of the sword with tsuka is 33 5/8".
