Kawabe Gihachirō Fujiwara Masahiro This is the signature he used in his early days before he changed it a number of times to Masahide

That is an incredible likeness Regards Tai A

Apologies, I have re-posted the photos the rightway up I believe! How can I get a real NIHONTO expert to verify this signature before sending it all the way to Japan? Regards Tai Alvis

If i was worried about the condition of my sword I am no longer after looking at kunitaro's post Before Polishing After Polishing

I have read that Suishinshi Masahide only started to stamp his swords later and not all of them have the stamp.

Yes I will, I believe in the correct handling before anything!

I dont know where the damage has come from it was certainly before it was in my family's possession, we have had it wraped up in a blanket for 60/70 years not knowing what it was. The marks look like stains not pitting and I am sure they will polish out I just dont know where to get it done?

Is Shirasaya retying the grip, replacing the old with new silk? Can this be done in the UK with a light polish/clean? If so how much would that cost?

How do I put it through shinsa I'm guessing this is authentication?
