Luh, 

 

A lot of great information about Masahiro can be found in this article. If possible, could you post more photos of the rest of the sword?

 

@Jcstroud take a look.

@Jcstroud would be interested in finding out the length of your nakago, @Suci.

Hi Luh .

 

I hope you got the right saya with that sword when i looked at them in the auction room, the auction house !!  had the Saya's mixed up as there were two navel swords in the auction ,presumably when they were photographing the tangs .

 

i did change them back , but who knows who was handling them in the Auction ,  that politely did not know what saya was for the right blade .
