This Hira zukiri style wakazashi looks more koto then Shinshinto but was attributed to a later generation of Tsunahiro. In a fresh polish and submited to the NBTHK it may very well be attributed to a koto era Stunahiro.  It comes mounted in an older shirasaya with sayagaki. The sword is O-suriage and still retains a soshu kanji at the bottom. It is classic Soshu with horimono of a dragon entwined around a ken engraved.

The sword is classic Soshu with an undulating notare with ko-gunome. There is much activity seen in the hamon. The kitae is of mokume with masame. There are remnants of a bonji character on one side as well. This looks like a much older sword than it was attributed to but we are not a shinsa. A beautiful old sword to maybe restore and enjoy for years to come.
