I have a wakizashi picked up in ww2.

 

It is in considerable disrepair- it has rust pitted, is missing both pieces of end furniture, has a broken tip and is missing the small knife for the scabbard. What steps Gould you take to bring it back to life?

 

The only markings I can find are on the tsuba fitting. Would anyone be able to translate that for me?

 

Thanks,

Dan

Nice little wakizashi, good looking fuchi, what do the menuki look like? Kashira? 

Some TLC cleaning in order, others will help with fuchi mei(signature) id just murder it.
