Also, what would the value be approximately, cause I'm pretty sure I got ripped off. Was told there was an anchor stamp, which would place it at Tokogawa and be worth more than a Seki-stamped. Not at all hand-forged, right? I'm guessing $500-$1000?

Here u go

Actually Bruce, Is this a twin to your sword or did I happen to end up buying your sword? https://gmic.co.uk/t...kaigunto-navy-sword/

More pics! Help appreciated!

I don't see an anchor stamp. Is this sword rare or special in any way? Traditionally forged? A higher ranking officials sword perhaps? Thanks all so far, this is cool info! I couldn't track down anything! I can clearly see the yoshi sign, good call there. However, I'm not seeing the shige, it doesn't look like the symbol you put. I can post better pics shortly.

What can someone tell me about this. Does anyone recognize the mei? I can barely make out the kanji symbol or what the enameled print means
