    Jean, Could it be Norimitsu? Hoanh

    You may well be correct, but there are too many red flags for me. I am risk-averse. Hoanh

    A few things: 1) itomaki is done incorrectly, 2) nakago, 3) fittings. Hoanh

    Chinese junk... Hoanh

    David, I would say muneyaki, not hitatsura. Hoanh

    Joab, Reading books and exploring the "Sold Archive." Below is one of the must-have primers. https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Connoisseur_s_Book_of_Japanese_Sword.html?id=zPyswmGDBFkC

    Not necessarily...Your tanto's nakago looks pretty crude. It looks to me like it might have been relatively recently repurposed from the broken tip of a longer sword. Hoanh

    Yes, that helps a great deal. Thank you so much! Hoanh

    1984 would be Showa 59. For the life of me, I don’t see it in the nengo. Hoanh

    My apologies! I was looking at the top pic that says 19. The second pic does indeed say 18. Hoanh

    I believe the year is 1944. Hoanh

    Certainly not hitatsura! Hoanh

    Sword ID help

    It would cost in the $100-$200 range, plus round trip shipping - not too much in the grand scheme of things. Hoanh

    The mei says “Hizen no Kuni Tadayoshi.” Here is one for comparison. https://www.toukenkomachi.com/index_en_tachi&katana_A021118.html Hoanh

    I'll stick my neck out to be shot down. The nakago looks fairly new and it lacks details expected of a Japanese sword, and it's unsigned. I would guess Chinese made. I would steer clear of this one. Hoanh
