Sharpo Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Hello, can I please have some information on this Japanese sword I have ? I think it is a wakizashi but it has no markings on the tang. Is there anyway to date it or see if it is real ? Any information would be helpful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
