So I think this read Tanba Kami Yoshimichi? If this is correct does it look to be a legitimate Mei to anyone?The blade measures about 15" and is shobu zukuri in shape I believe.

Ok so the patina is a photographic issue and the Nagako is very dirty not taken care of properly.The handle hasn't been off since wwII era, it had a gauze wrapping over the mekugi that what so old it was disengrating.The state of polish is poor, and a few issues I know. What I'm wondering about is the Mei? It looks weak in some places and better cut in others?Also did I translate it correctly

Thanks good to know I was able to finally translate a full Mei properly lol..... I was also thinking the 2nd charcter was odd looking. So far I haven't found anything even remotely matching the 2nd charcter

Blade looks a little rough, but i would study the work closely. i dont think this Tango, but Tanba. Take a look around for late generation Osaka Tanba.
