The first two pictures are of a Katana with a long 27.5 inch blade in poor condition.

 

The second two are characters on the blade and mounting of a beautiful Wakizashi. The inscriptions under the handle are almost completely gone. 

 

Thank you,

Christian

Yoshu Saijo ju Taira Sadashige saku.

 

He was an excellent smith who studied under the living national treasure Takahashi Sadatsugu.

 

I agree.

I cannot thank you enough for your help. The wealth of knoledge here never ceases to impress me.

 

Who would you recomend to polish the blade or evaluate if it is even salvagable ? And yes, I know what it costs.
