Hello everyone,

I need help identifying what era my katana is from and any other possible information. Any and all help is appreciated!

 

I wasn’t able to get the Habaki off, however I was able to slide it down enough to get a measurement of the machi. 
 

Measurements;

Length from Kissaki to machi: 25”

width at machi: 1 1/8”

Thickness at machi: 5/16” 

 

Thank you again for your help and consideration!

The photos are not useful for an assessment. If the markings were a MEI and not the date, it could be a SURIAGE (BIZEN?) TACHI, but that is just a wild guess.
