This is a very old wakazashi from the koto era and is fully signed.  It comes in an older polish but is in good shape.  It has good work in the hamon and hada and is a fine example of kyomitsu's workmanship.  The sword also comes with mounts and papers attesting to the signature and quality.  This sword is mounted in a katana style mount.  This was a style of mounting that was used by merchants and people that would not be allowed to carry a katana.
