Shinsakuto Id Help

[Matthew Jensen]

Anyone have any idea what the signature is on this nakago?  I got a shinsakuto on ebay not too long ago and I am looking for more info on it.  Maybe I got a shin-not-kool-yo?

maybe Tadayoshi saku

To me it looks like  忠善作 Tadayoshi saku.

Thanks for the help! 忠善作 Tadayoshi saku would be a really good find but I am guessing it is gimei.  It looks like a shinsakuto of modern construction.  I got it for a good deal so I can't complain even if it is gimei.  It will work well for an iai blade.  Anyway, I had hoped it was a lower end gendito but I think I am out of luck there.

 

I'll post better photos when I get a chance to take some.  I appreciate the help.  This is one of my first posts here and I feel welcome.

 

Cheers,

is there a date on the other side?  did you get it from komonjo?  plenty of speculation about his gimei shinsakuto...

This one is not from Komonjo, its from another ebay seller but they look very similar.  I do have a blade from Komonjo though.  (Click for Photos)  Maybe someone can tell me about that one too. 

 

I am guessing it is fake but that's what I deserve for buying it without thinking. It is getting mounted now and looks something like this now.  It should be done in the not too distant future and my plan is to sell it.  (probably.. I might like it)
