Thanks Steve.  Now I have 2 of his.  The first one wasn't dated either and the blade was estimated to be mid 1650s.  I realize cuts tests were often done sometime after a blade was made, maybe years, but 100 years seems a bit of a stretch.  

 

Any chance our NMB treasure @Markus Sesko is around?  He literally wrote the book on the testers.  Or if anyone else can give  me an idea of when Yoshitoyo did his work?

No date, as Steve pointed out. What "worries" me a bit is that the cert quotes the gold inlaid cutting test under "mei" and not in a separate "kinzōgan-mei

section"...
