My friend, thank you for your reply.

What warning signs you see!

Moriyama,

Thank you for the information.

 It looks like being the same sword, amazing.

Do you have more information regarding the sword smith, Shigetsuna?

 

Regards,

 

Antonio

[Nobody]

The smith’s real name is 坂三郎 – Saka Saburo, and he was born in Nov. 1946.

He was a pupil of 酒井一貫斎繁政 – Sakai Ikkansai Shigemasa, and learned Bizen tradition.

Mainly the yasurime which aren't consistent or well done, and the "flow" of the kanji as they are carved.
Also, the nakago should be clean for a shinsakuto, but that one looks like it has some rust that was removed. Dunno. If would expect this to be linked to the seller Komonjo...then it would make sense.

Thank you again my friend for the feedback.

I dont think it is linked to komonjo, its far too good for komonjo.

Actually  its the same blade as in the link .

Christian,

 I do agree with you my friend is definitely the same blade.
