  10. to closeup pictures. I am also open for trades and i am looking for a Shinshinto/Shinto Blade.
  11. with the nagasa of 54,2 cm and suriage i think it was a Katana before, or am i incorrect?
  12. Thats learning, and the best way to learn ist to make mistakes. You should also get in contact with other collectors to see more blades. The Wakizashi is ok, it's a original Nihonto with history. Some startet with a Showato or chinese Fakesword. And most collectors in USA have much better opportunities to buy good Nihonto.
