[J Karner]

Would someone care to a specific translation? My kanji translation is redimentary and Ive never been good with dates.

Hi I carn’t translate grass script but I would love to see some photos of the blade 😎

Thank you very much to all. It's very clear now. Thank you particularly for the Kanji English side by side. So helpful to see.

 

Though Ive had this sword longer than any other, I plan to sell this Katana in Shira saya soon....though I'm not sure how.  I've only used ebay over the years.

I think you would find eager buyers right here on this forum...

Without a doubt.  Save those fees!!

Can you translate this please? I think it says Bizen, then looks like Osa? And (no) Ju.

[Toryu2020]

Bizen (no) Kuni Osafune Ju - the rest should be on the other side...

[Sifujohnholden]

Thank you. How stupid of me. I took a rubbing and forgot I had had this translated before and as you said, the rest is on the other side. 😩
