What school? 
Would highly appreciate if you can advice. Ko-maru and O-maru is different on each side. 

[Alex A]

Tough one, with what's available 

 

Reminds me of Hizen

 

A mention of a similar boshi https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/A_1958-0730-156-a

 

Just for fun, nothing factual.

 

You need to check the rest of your sword with other examples, nakago etc,

Ask Jan-Erik (Svanis) at NBTHK - Sweden, I think he can help you.

[Ulrik]

Thank you so much for advice Caracal. Im a member of NBTHK Sweden so have already asked Jan-Erik. 

Alex A is ok i post more pictures and it might be easier for you? 

 

Best Regards / Ulrik

Hello, yes, we like to have a go. 

 

Add some clear images of the nakago showing file marks plus all the dimensions. Plus if you can get better images of the blade

 

Also confirm whether there is masame hada in the shinogi-ji please, hard to say whether just scratches or not from images.

 

Cheers

Ulrik,

and when you post photos, please show them always with the tip upwards!

[Ulrik]

Hello Alex,

 

Hope this will clarify. Shinogi-ji is probably masame hada. 
 

Hawatari: 65,5 cm

Total length: 82 cm

Kasame: 6 mm

 

Added the mounting as well just as curiosity!

 

Looking forward to hear from you.
