Good Evening all:

 

Attached are some photos of a new Katana I recently acquired....I am having trouble translating the tang, and indexing when this sword was made.  It looks like the following :  Musashi Province  XXX  XXX  Kiyo  Suke?  The katana will most likely need a restoration, so I am weighing the project and alternatives.  The blade has a bit of rust, but the handle, tsuba and saya are in pretty good shape.  The cutting edge is 27.5 inches, with no break in the temper line.   It would help if I could pin down the who and the when.   All opinions are welcomed  Thanks in advance.
