I'm not debating just stating what it's papered to. You are free to disagree with the paper. It's papered to a specific smith and not a school so convention would dictate it would match his recognized working period. I am not knowledgeable enough to argue one way or the other.

It is papered mid to late Nanboku-cho NBTHK

It's the same on either side. Not exactly sure what this one is. They are oversized

No, this is for a friend.

Sorry for the poor photos. I just got it. It's really a beefy blade for it's age. It was recently polished and papered.

Thank you very much , I am just trying to learn and hearing all comments were of a great help to me. I'm sure it would be more helpful to have the piece in hand when trying to determine who made it. I have to stick a scope down the Tehen yet to see if it is signed. Again thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Yes I think so ! To me there is a difference between seeing a gimei on a lesser work or trying to determine if a signature on a good work is shoshin. Time will tell on the good work so it's not necessary to rush to a decision. I see sayagaki on swords by Mr. Tanobe where he States that the group called it X because a consensus could not be reached on Y frequently

That's great news ! Thank you for your help.

This falls under hidden weapons , this Soukou-toku were used by Edo police. Samurai were responsible for the police so due to the Mon on this one it may have belonged to a Samurai. This was filled with a combination of irritating powders including peppers. It was carried around the neck by a string and blown into the face of an opponent to temporarily blind them via a mouth oiece.This one still contains some of the powder.
