Just to share with you the latest addition to the collection. The blade is signed Bishu Fujiwara, the rest of the signature is cut off.

Ed,

good photos are necessary for a helpful response. Ideally, they should be
 

- well focused, not blurry or foggy
- made with a dark, non-reflective background for good contrast
- made with light from the side (may not apply for HAMON photos)
- made from directly above (not at an angle)
- made with correct orientation (tip-upwards; this is most important when reading of a MEI is requested
- without HABAKI but showing the MACHI and NAKAGO JIRI 
- made with high resolution to see details
- showing details of the sword like BOSHI, HAMACHI, HAMON, HADA, NAKAGO JIRI etc.
- presented as cut-outs so very little background is seen

@ROKUJURO hi Jean,

Thanks for the guidelines. I did my best but my photographer skills are bad. The auto focus failed and manually focus also failed because of my bad eyes.

The habaki can only be moved a few centimeters. Tried to remove it but I don't want to damage the habaki.

@John C, indeed early fittings. @PNSSHOGUN John already mentioned that.
