Took a punt on a Tanto relic

Thanks, that’s incredibly interesting, first time I’ve seen a nihonto with that sort of breakage, you can almost see the layers, that would be quite the show piece -
I’ll get back with more pictures, specifically of the back of the nakago, probably tomorrow, thanks for your comments (hope this picture helps some)

Well I’m no expert, but if it was shortened, it would have been from the backside, as the kissaki still has an intact hamon, I checked the back of the nakago, and the patina seems consistent, if it was shortened it may have been early in its lifetime?

Polishing marks under habaki, I’d greatly appreciate it if someone could help identify the polisher
