Sharpo Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 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
Mark Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 sword looks real. A lot of swords are not signed. The tsuba either has been damaged or is a later cast type....... just my opinion Quote
