Hey everyone!

 

I have another blade here from my collection. I've had this one for a while now, but the same day I took pictures of that wakizashi, I took a few of this katana. Its a pretty interesting piece, so again, I'll let the pictures and measurements do the talking:

 

Nagasa: 26 1/8"

 

Sori: 5/8"

 

Nakago length: 7 1/4"

 

 

My asks are: apparent age, school, any other useful info you can clean from my crappy photos! One other thing: the habaki is wedged tightly on and because its gold-foil, I am afraid that trying to remove it would damage it.
 

Opinions welcome!
