  8. Thanks in advance, still reading and don't know alot but read Mum was a sign of the Imperial House and some sword makers were allowed to use it, Kiku Ichimonji, Gotoba, Sukeshige,Yoshihira or even the School of Ichimonji. Have not gotten very good with the writings at this point to determine signatures and the owner claims he knows nothing other than a Vet bring back.
