Hello,

 

is the signature genuine or a fake? What the experts say about it? Please have a look at the pictures. That would be an interesting Katana.

Hello:

If you will hit on Michael's reference above you will find other posts, which strangely are not on this string. Anyway my main point was that the mei doesn't look terrible, but the yasurime are not typical for that very highly regarded shinshinto smith. Yasurime should be a starting point as only rarely would a smith vary that much, certainly not as much as that of the example.
