I'm not interested in buying this sword, but I look at inscriptions to test myself on translations. I came across this katana on eBay and the date seems off to me. Best I can tell, the date is Man-en ku nen. Since Man-en was only 1860, and Bunku was 1861, wouldn't it be impossible to have a Man-en 9?

Help me educate myself!
