Ray Singer Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Omi (no) kami Minamoto Hisamichi, but from what I can see this is not an authentic Japanese sword. Sorry for the bad news, but it appears to be a fake. Good that you asked here first, and note that auctions are generally not a great place to source quality Japanese swords (and least, not before putting in a lot of study). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it come up, but luckily I didn't pull any sort of trigger on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
