Anyone know this mon?

here is a better picture. Hope it helps

Thank you all for your input on this. A little more backstory on this blade, I did not find it in a storage units my dad's girlfriend pulled it out of hers. When my dad text me pictures I couldn't get in my truck fast enough to see it in person. I'm currently talking to her about purchasing it. Thank you to all that PM me offers to give me a ballpark of what to offer her. If I can purchase it from her I will have it restored and papered. I will be meeting with Brian Tschernega later this month to ask for assistance. Thanks James

Just found this in a storage unit.

Thank you everyone for the insight. I will try getting ahold of Brian Tschernega to see if he is willing to take on this project. At this time I'm willing to spend the coin to restore it. It's my first and plan on keeping it.

yes I took the mekugi out, that's when I found out the tsuka is glued on as there was glue of some sort on the mekugi and i can see it in-between the metal and wood. "it might not be economically worth it to fix everything" can you tell me more as I'm a novice at this stuff.

Hello all New to Nihonto. I have this Tanto and at some point in its life someone glued the tsuka on. Is there anyone that can fix that? Can/should it be restored? any advice is much appreciated. https://imgur.com/GPvfL5N https://imgur.com/Twr9yQF https://imgur.com/f61rWFA https://imgur.com/YTPnVHE https://imgur.com/ePNx0Hi https://imgur.com/Z4le7X2 https://imgur.com/OjLTn3u https://imgur.com/067N0E0 https://imgur.com/GjeTKhb https://imgur.com/zXS1fwq
