    And even more images...

    Here are some additional pictures of the sword. These are the best that my phone and lighting setup will allow so apologies in advance if it does not show much more than the initial photos I uploaded:

    Thank you for the reply! Suppose the signature is indeed gimei, is there a way still to identify the true smith who made the sword?
  4. Nidaito9305
    Absolutely! I am glad these images could be of use to someone else!

    Thank you so much for the advice, Mr. Doffin. I will keep this in mind before I make future purchases. I used some books I bought in the past as reference so I already knew some degree of information on this sword before buying it, but I did not feel confident in my assessment as an amateur, hence why I made my post. However, I definitely agree it would have been much safer to know more about the blade before the sale closed. Either way, as my first Japanese sword, I am glad to know that it is a genuine article. Much thanks again for the reply. It is something I will keep in mind.

    Greetings, NMB! I have a sword I recently got from an auction that I wanted to get more information on. In particular, I was hoping to know if 1) This article is a genuine nihonto? 2) Who was the smith? 3) What period of Japan's history was this sword made? 4) If the plastic remnants on the saya indicate some official paperwork or documentation about the sword that was lost some time earlier? I am still new to the field of Japanese swords as well as these forums, so please forgive me if some of my observations or practices are incorrect. If there is anything I need to improve, please let me know. Here are some additional details about the sword: Nagasa - 16" Overall Length - 24" Shape - Shinogi-Zukuri Tip - Chu-Kissaki Hada - ? (It is difficult to tell with my untrained eye, but it seems to be of the finer variants, ko-mokume/itame) Hamon - Chu-Suguha, Nie Spine - Iori-Mune Nakago - Funagata Nakago Tip - Kurijiri Location - Was sold to me from within the U.S. Thank you all so much in advance for looking over my post!
