thank you very much, need to brush up on my traditional carpentary knowledge

lets apply Occam's razor to this sword . 1-hamon, clearly oil quenched, clealy in the mino seki style know to be mass produced during era. 2-kissaki dosnt match koa isshin mantetsu "a robust ko kissaki" the above has more of a chu. 3- very fresh mei that dosnt even match the patina of the clearly cleaned nakago 4-nakago shape tapers to much 5- the poorly finished yasurime, koa isshin had etremely well finished nakago and yasurime. so go with whats the simpler explanation or most obvious. IE a mumei seki/showato tarted up at look like a more commercial sale to the uneducated white man, compared to a mumei seki-to that wouldnt evan sell on fleabay. stick that in your fife and smoke it

your right, clearly. you clearly speak with andrew often, be on first name basis and have kantei lessons from him or had jobs declined from him. bloody youtube experts. dont fill this poor guys mind with false hope. but i know what andrew will say. so you might aswell point him towards Aoi-art. they will take his money

why are you guys not telling him the obvious facts, ?? the sword isnt savable, stop him form dumping thounds of dolllers into a lost cause. shame on you all

ITS A FAKE BRUCE, STOP DREAMING ABOUT

ITS UTTERLY FUKKED, AND THE FACT THAT YOU CANT SEE THE THAT WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT MAKES ME THINK DIY POLISHING ISNT YOUR THING. EITHER SORRY IM STUCK IN CAPS. NOT YELLING PS, I CAN TELL YOU FOR A FACT ANDREW WONT TOUCH IT WITH A 900FT POLE

Give Andrew and call. He straightened a gendai for me years ago Far worse than that

Hate to trip over in that room during a blackout

Mei looks like kotani Yasunori. Sad the mei is so degraded. Whats the blades condition?? I had one similar condition and sold it to ray.
