Just picked this one up yesterday. It's a short sword. The tang is not signed. Is there anyway to tell how old a sword like this is. The fittings are iron with inlays.

Not much interest here I see. Maybe I should post on another forum?

Randal,
It looks like a fine (possibly) Edo mumei wakizashi to me. My advice is to show it (with closer photos) to guys from Nihonto Message Board. They will tell you everything about your waki. |

AGE AND POSSIBLY AREA OF MANUFACTURE CAN ONLY BE DETERMINED BY A GOOD HANDS ON EXAMINATION STUDYING THE TYPE OF STEEL USED, THE METHOD OF FORGING AND TEMPERING. I AGREE THAT FROM THE PICTURES IT A APPEARS TO BE AN EDO ERA SWORD.

I believe you have a momei shinto waki worth $500 to $1000. Nice find.
