Please and thank you

 

also, did this smith make Gendaito? The sword I'm looking at sure has all the signs of one

Any arsenal stamps? Your photo crops out just before the suspected location would be. The yasurimei makes me lean on showato..

I did not find any showa arsenal markings and unfortunately the pictures are of poor quality due to time constraints. The owner who has no idea how to treat a Japanese sword correctly makes me cringe everyltime he smudges the sword with his finger all over.

Seki ju Fujiwara Kanehiro saku

 

 

Found an example mei online

 

Definitely made showa-to, unsure whether he made gendaito, although he doesnt to be a RJT

 

Hope that helps

Hard to say for certain from the photos but I would bet it is non-traditionally made (Showa-to).
