I recently purchased a Wakizashi and am curious about discover the age of it, any suggestion how to do?
Can anybody translate the tang inscription for me?

thanks for Your help

There are a few here who translate that, but you should post it in the edged weapons forum. Google the ETHNOGRAPHIC FORUM - Swords are their thing.

Hi gianluca,
Try a search for "Heianjo ju Fujiwara Nobuyoshi." I think it will get you started while you wait for Edokko to show up.
Best, C.

Chako got the translation spot on, but would like to see more details of the blade. Just from the tang and the tsuba, I don't like the looks of it.
