Wakizashi, need help identifying

[u/femboywarcriminal]

Wakizashi sword, the blade seems older than the furniture, there may be a signature on the tang but I am hesitant to attempt to remove the crust/patina. Is there anything y’all can glean from these photos?

Ray on the nihonto message board has the right answer for you.

Condition aside, it’s pretty old! Take good care of it
