Japanese Wakizashi Short Sword NOT SIGNED NO PAPERS Vintage

The Japanese Wakizashi Short Sword presented here is an unsigned vintage piece with no accompanying papers. The wakizashi is a traditional Japanese short sword with a blade typically ranging between 30 and 60 centimeters, historically worn by samurai in combination with a longer katana as part of a daisho set. This item features a single-edged, curved steel blade set in a wooden or lacquered scabbard, with typical mounts and fittings from the period in which it was made. The absence of a signed tang (mei) and authentication documents means specific attribution to a maker or era cannot be provided.
