Thank you Piers, just to ask a question. I was checking out another blade at an auction. The shape of the blade looks promising or early sugata. Ww2 Gunto but limited pics without pic of nakago. Fittings are on the blade. Big auction house. You can tell the person whom listed for the auction house doesn’t know much. The listing says signed on right side of blade two characters and five characters on the left side or other side of blade. They make it difficult by not specifying ura or omote. What do you guess right side of blade is meant by the seller. I assume the two character would be the smith name and the five characters possible date. Right side tachi mei? The first pic of blade shows the blade facing or pointing to the right tachi style

Piers, yes I think from that prospective makes sense. Holding the sword with mune up would I assume they are thinking right side or ura tachi mei? That’s the only thing I could think of by the auction houses listing. Thank you
