Hi everyone, Long story short I’m looking for information on a sword that me and my grandfather had acquired years ago at a yard sale. I do want to clarify that I have little to no knowledge of Japanese sword smiths and terminology and have only ever collected American military knives and pocket knives. We had purchased this sword from an elderly gentleman and he said it had been sitting in his garage for a number of years and had no real knowledge of it and asked $10 for it. After inspecting the sword at home I realized it had some age to it and noticed the signature on the tang. I realize that it has seen better days and can probably be professionally restored. From what I can gather from google translate is appears to be made by Nobuhide? I’m really just trying to get any information I can and if it would be worth restoring or just left alone. Thanks
