how many times again???

 

1.- full , crisp Nakago from Omote and Ura! ( 2 high definition pictures! please) ( if possible?)

2.- full doc. of datas (blade measurements like length, wide ,ct.ect....) (if no further pictures available ?)

3.- clean! no Talkum or other dirt sniping the Tagane/ Cisel of its mei.....

 

and!....then!( just then!  !) do let us have a eventually looking forward onto putting a blade to something....

 

( a closeup picture of its Boshi may be of certain help,very certainly, too!)

( Ura and Omote please! never forget!) ( this is both sides of the swords point! Kissaki...)

Quickly, this is a tameshi-mei by Yamano Nagahisa. Do you own Markus Sesko book on tameshigiri? If not, it's recommended.

 

Best regards,

Ray
