Garand

I just wanted to ask because I dont want to just take a seller's word (even when I trust them). Thanks all for the comments!

Thanks for the details, both. Rivkin, you've proven how much lingo I need to learn around here.

Hey everyone, nice to meet you all. This is my first post here and I'm looking forward to learning from the group. Just wanted to get some opinions on my wakizashi which I purchased from Tozando in Kyoto. It unfortunately does not have NBTHK certification, but is a beautiful blade that immediately caught my attention. Can anyone tell me about the signature? Pictures are here.
