Hello all!! I picked this up for iai because of the nagasa(29.5") and I'm pretty sure its a gimei. The ura is dated 12th year of tenpo (1842) but I believe Munetsugu received the title Bizen no suke in 1845.

 

Thanks for any and all opinions....

Matt,

12th year of Tenpo era is 1841. First year of Tenpo is the equivalent of 1830 and must be counted as 1 not zero. I'm mentionning this, because it is a common mistake. Apart from that you are right. Koyama MUNETSUGU was awarded with the "Bizen-no-Suke" title in 1845. A genuine mei including this title dating from 1841 cannot exist.
