There's actually a number of smiths who signed 貞次. It's a nice, very good sized piece. My guess would be Momoyama or even later. It has a elongated kissaki, high shinogi, some masame and shows attractive activities  - which narrows it down a bit, but not by much.  I think your best bet would be Massimo Rossi in Rome to have an in hand appraisal. He can also tell you about a possible polish. I think it would look stunning, but could be I'm overlooking things not shown in the pictures. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hello, just picking up on a few points Dirk mentioned and without spending much time at all on it

 

Look at all the details and try work it out.

 

Some similar points. Itame, masame, high shinogi

 

Dropped a page in. Not saying it is or anything, just how you need to go about it

 

Ps, always a possibility of gimei !
