Hey there can someone translate this for me..

I personally don't believe it is possible to sign your name in tamahagane the same exact way perfectly every single time. I can't even sign my own name exactly the same way on paper every time

You never know maybe examples 2 4 6 were made on the days suishinshi drank too much sake.

Here is legit signature.

Bet they are all good.

Gentleman I'm not looking for treasure I'm still fairly new to this so I'm still learning to tell the difference between fake and real. I could afford to buy an expensive piece If I like it and really want it. Obviously it would be nice to find a nice sword for a good price but that's not why I listed this. By looks legit I meant look very real, I thought it was fake also because the stokes are different so is the date. I appreciate the good advice guys.

I think it looks legit

Yes I know Ken, any opinion on the masahide?

I know but it says it's made by sadakazu that's what's weird raymond

Same with this so call sadakazu

Looks very very close but then why no papers.

Thank you in advance.

Hamon looks as if it's sunbonsugi and turns into gunome. Possibley mino

Just for scale purposes.

The ha barely has any damages only couple micro chips the yokote is not visible and the kissaki needs to be reformed.

Honestly Robert I'm not so negative on it also when held in hand looks very uniform if it is off it's very very minuit. I really like it and think it's a well made piece and has a beautiful hamon that runs all the way thru also light and well balanced I think it would be a nice piece if fixed up. But I'm going to have someone that is more experienced with this matter look at it this coming Friday and see what he says and how he feels about it. Personally I think it looks that way in the pics because of the different patches of rust and what not, makes it looks off. But we shall see soon will update when decide on proper action to take.

Yes Chuck it does, all fine though will fix it up.

Lol got it raymond say no more. Just making sure it's nothing interesting. Did you see the kunishige mei I posted. The guy I bought the 1300s piece from is selling it to me as well

I don't think it's mass produced Raymond has a hamon.

Nothing else Raymond let me see if he can send more pics so i can look for stamps. But he said only that signuture.

If anyone seen this type of mei before please let me know.

Is kunishige considered a good smith?

The habaki came of used a piece of wood and mallet. I bought a very interesting blade from the mid to late 1300s waiting for it to come in the mail any day now. I will put it up as soon as I get it.

It was practically free.i liked it I bought it.
