Hi if anyone here can help to translate this gendai inscription Ray ready help me to find the smith mei ,Yanagawa Ushoshin Jan 1935 Can be a custom order or something else?

Hi agree with you I have seen sword sold from another controversial seller komonjo and weeks later realists by Showa 22 and actually sold for doble of the initial price, i buy and return one sword in shirasaya at high price that tuned to be gimei motohira thanks to a friend here and later he realist we a different koshirae so he do all this tricks before and continues
