We will post pictures of the whole sword soon. EDIT: Here are pictures. Barry, I have not touched the thing. I just got it. This is, as it was when it came into my hands. An attempt to show the hamon.

John, To what does "Nor166 20 pts" refer? Thanks

Here are scans of the mei.

I recently received a short Japanese type sword with fuller which had the following tag tied to a red laminate scabbard. If anyone could help me I would be very grateful. There is no commercial use of this information. I do not even know if this is oriented correctly. Please forgive me if this is picture is too big or is oriented incorrectly. Many thanks....
