Blade ID

[TenguSan]

Hello All,

 

1st post here. I recently acquired this blade and am wondering what others think of age, manufacture, legitimacy, etc

Any info is appreciated.

Welcome  John to NMB. It would help considerably if you could provide a photograph of the entire blade without the habaki and with the point at the top of the picture. The habaki looks like a two piece habaki, but you only have half of it. Measurements of the blade would also be very helpful. Otherwise, the blade is in good polish and appears to be O-suriage. I'm sure others will provide more insight.

Welcome John...Like Ed said, please share some more pictures. Might be a Yamato blade..

It looks like its very straight which is basically Kambun shinto. Not too many suguha/Yamato smiths at the time. Its not Kii school for many reasons, but can be Owari.

Can we see the Hamon in the Boshi ? 
Also a good picture of the Nioiguchi could help. 

The blade is straight but it is shortned and the Nakago got a good amount of Sori itself. 
Maybe it was Koshizori, so I would guess the end of Kamakura or Nanbokucho  period.
