@Bugyotsuji am I correct about its age? Koto? am I correct about it once being a katana and then shortened to a wakizashi? I am new and just trying to make sure I am correct. and yes, it is broken. I don't believe it can be restored

Hello all, I am new to Nihonto and I am not an expert but I have been offered what I believe to be a suriage katana blade that is now a wakizashi. I am guessing that the age is Koto. What do you think? Also there appears to be a kanji on the nakago if anyone can make it out. I would love to get your thoughts and feedback! Thanks in advance! I should also add, I know it is probably not restorable. but maybe a nice conversation piece to display and something to look at! Thanks again

@Ray Singerwhat about the katana? did any of them look koto or catch your eye? Besides those katanas, the seller also has these katanas for me to pick from. Do these or any of the the previous katana catch your eye, besides the wakizashi?

@Ray Singer Just looking for a project blade to restore. Preferrably koto. Not concerned with the "investment" per se. Just wondering if any of these "stuck out" as having the potential to be a special piece! Do you see any that could be a Koto blade?

Here are the katana:

Hello I am looking for a wakizashi and Katana to restore. I have the opportunity to buy all or just one of them. I can't decide which wakizashi or Katana would be worthy of restoration. I prefer koto blades. Can anyone tell me if there is anything here that is special/catches their eye or if there is a koto blade or anything worth restoring if you had to pick one or two of them? Thanks! Which ones stick out to you?!
