Lot of Two Japanese Swords

1) Signed Japanese sword, 36 1/4 inches overall, with a 25 5/8 inch blade seated in a copper habaki, showing very well defined grain and a wavy hamon. The round iron tsuba is deeply engraved with cloud shapes and copper accents. Light floral motifs are present on the fuchi and butterflies on the kashira, with a pair of darkened copper floral menuki. An untranslated 9-figure signature is present on the left side of the tang. With a black lacquered saya, fitted with a brown leather cover and tachi-style suspension ring. 2) Japanese sword with shin-gunto furniture, 36 1/4 inches overall, with a 25 inch blade set in a silver finished copper habaki, with a wavy temper line. With an aluminum saya.

Condition1) Good. Some chipping is visible along the edge, with mild spotting and handling marks. The fittings show some light wear, with some scuffing and cracking of the saya and cover. 2) Very good, with some mild spotting on the blade and light handling marks overall. The mekugi has broken off inside the grip, preventing disassembly and tang inspection, and the grip wrappings have shifted down slightly to expose the base wood. The saya is good, with some wear and scuffing.
