Translation of NBTHK paper - Kanesada

[Motorgun]

Was hoping a translation of this NBTHK paper would help pinpoint which Kanesada made this sword.

 

 

[Mark]

paper just says Kanesada no generation, group, or date.

[Motorgun]

Mark - Is it unusual for it not to mention a group or date?

Hi Mark,

not wanting to jump on Mark's response but in cases where you have numerous generations using a name such as Kanesada or Kanemoto and where there are no distnguishing features specific to a given smith, it is quite common for the paper to confirm a blades authenticity but without being able to pinpoint it down to an individual.

Paul - thanks, that makes sense.
