Honya Posted April 28 Report Posted April 28 Hello everyone, some time ago I purchased this wakizashi and I would like to ask for your thoughts what it could be. Nagasa 38,2 cm (15,04 in) Sori 0,7 cm (0,28 in) Moto-haba 2,2 cm (0,87 in) - it is a bit wider (1 mm) in upper part Moto-kasane 0,4 cm (0,16 in) - at shinogi line, about 1 mm at mune Weight 330 g If any aditional photos are needed or better quality, I can try. It was (relatively) cheap, so i don't expect it to be Masamune My personal guess is that it could be naginata naoshi from mid Muromachi (I have no idea about the school). But my personal guess worth noting since I have no experience so I am very curious about your opinion. Thank you very much in advance! Have a nice day Jan 1 Quote
Robert S Posted April 28 Report Posted April 28 Those consistent parallel "polishing" scratches and the hada concern me. I'm no expert, though, so I'll leave others to weigh in. Quote
Ray Singer Posted April 28 Report Posted April 28 Looks like a nice naginatanaoshi Jan. Perhaps Muromachi Mino (following after Naoe Shizu, between Shigaseki and later Sue-Seki). 2 Quote
Ray Singer Posted April 28 Report Posted April 28 Rivkin beat me by 5 seconds :). Agreed, that is my feeling as well. 1 Quote
