    Japanese short sword question?

    I picked this sword up years ago from a vet. This is the way he brought it home without the handle. The blade is sharpened up to the collar and the blade is 14 1/2" up to the collar. The entire length of the sword is 19 1/2" and the scabbard is wood. Here are some pics. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, DEL

                      You have a very interesting mei on that wakizashi. It's a smith from the Kaga area (present Kanazawa prefecture area) active in the mid-late 17c.
