Just found an old picture of a Wakizashi blade that I have after I had it polished. Forgot how beautiful it was.

Here is a sword that I have that had a really old hazy polish from long ago. I sent it to David Hoffine for a touch up polish since there was no real damage.
Hoffine wrote that it was a Kanemoto from the 17 or 1800's. Before and After

Any engraving? My FIL brought back two Japanese swords from WW2.

The first picture looks to be a katana and is clearly signed. Looks like an AOI stock image.

Normally AOI includes at least hozon papers with their sales, should have the signature there or an attribution to smith or school.
