Hey y’all!! I drifted this several years ago and I think it’s a Blenko ivy vase?! it looks red in a couple of these pictures, but it’s really a purple color!

I have had these spoons for several years. I bought them at an online auction. They were identified as German .800 silver serving spoons, but I’m not so sure?! I have been told they were British? Can anyone make out the hallmarks? Please help!

I bought this several months ago at a local thrift store, but I have no idea what it is? Would appreciate any input.! Thanks

I bought this at an online estate sale. Any information would be appreciated.

This sword was brought back from Japan by my husband's grandfather in World War II. It has been in the family since that time.

I was directed here from r/nihonto for help reading the mei. An individual on that sub suggested it might be a chokuto but this sword has a slight curve to it.

The tang has inscriptions on both sides, including what appears to be two columns of kanji on one side. I am hoping someone can give me some history, including the smith's name and date.

It also has what appears to be a matching iron tsuba with a detailed battle scene (Claude Ai told me this??) carved on it and a maker's mark, as well as a matching menuki.

I am researching this as a surprise for my husband, as he recently re-discovered in storage. Any help with identification/~age/~value would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

This katana, with matching tsuba and kogai, was brought back from Japan by my husband's grandfather in WWII. I am trying to identify the smith signature and date on the tang. The blade also has some edge chips/notches and I'd welcome any thoughts on whether restoration would be worthwhile. Any help reading the mei would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
