    I requested the seller to send me some clearer pictures. But in the meantime I thought id post what I had to see if anyone could decipher. Thanks for your help!

    Wow! That's a lot to digest! I'm going to have to do some research on what you found out. But you are thinking its age is around the early to mid 1500's? Also my family would like to know the value in its current condition?

    my (untrained) eyes don't really see an outline on the boshi.

    @Rivkin here are some photos of the activity as best I could get it. its easier to see by the tip but harder to see by the handle. @David Flynn Thank you for your opinion! I would love others opinions as well until a consensus is reached.

    okay, I will try to get a picture of the activity on the blade for you. What is an uchi-gatana? Ive never heard of it. Is it a type of katana? Was it always this length or has it been shortened?

    Thank you Chris! I will keep all this in mind! My family wants me to ask you what the value of the sword would be currently?
  10. aabderson
    The sharpened area of the blade is 23". The length of the blade including tang is 29". The length of the sword with tsuka is 33 5/8".

    Hello all, I am looking for your thoughts on this sword that my grandpa brought back and how old this sword could be or any other thoughts you may have on it! I know it's not in the best shape but I hope to get it restored. Thank you in advance! Its not as heavy as I was expecting. From my research I am thinking late Koto or early shinto. Thoughts?

    These are the only pics they sent. The blade is in good condition tho. What do you think it’s worth?

    Why would some want to file the Nakago on this sword? It’s unsigned

    Thank you! @BANGBANGSAN@PNSSHOGUN what do you guys think of the new pics? You think it’s Shinto or Koto? Any other info you can give me on a value of what I should pay?

    Thank you! Any thoughts from anyone else? Just wondering how old the sword could be and what is a good price for it. He is asking $1300. is that a good price? I know im going to have to have it re-wrapped. does it need to be polished?

    Seller says the Tsuba is signed by Kunikane. Is that correct? Is he well known?

    The seller is asking for $1300 US. Is that fair? If not, then what is a fair price?
