It’s nice looking, I see a fine hada and a konie hamon.

 

If you want people to try and kantei it to a time and tradition it might be a good idea to upload additional photos. The most valuable additional photos are: An overhead view of the sword from both sides, a photo of the kisaki, a photo of the nakago, a photo showing off the hamon and hada.

 

Your photos look good so just take some of them with focused directional lighting (sun or lamp, I’ve found those good for Illuminating hamon) and some with shaded outdoors lighting. The photos I’ve attached hopefully show what I mean.
