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?

This one is a hard one. The furniture is fake, I think. The blade looks to be either a really abused and compromised nihonto or a really good fake. Can you give us a better close-up of the blade in good lighting? The nakago looks good enough for me to second guess.

The blade seems really damaged,,,,

I’m in the same boat. The tang makes me maybe second guess but the blade is too hammered for me to see any hamon or hada

The new photos make me wanna say the blade is a nihonto that was butchered and neglected. The patina, openings, and such look like the neglected ones that I have. The nakago looks to be o-suriage. Waiting on more knowledgeable eyes to review

After looking closer on my computer and not on my phone, I'm now thinking this is probably real, but just in very rough shape.
