Nice looking gunto, Mick.  For guys that love the leather covers, this is a plus, as it's pretty rare to see one that still has the leather retention tab on the tsuka.

Good luck with the sale.

Many thanks. I’m selling to save for a kabuto. Collecting is like a disease.You feel great for awhile then it creeps back.

Looks like Seki Kanemune (関兼宗). Possibly Fukumoto Kanemune?

Mick,

to help your sale a bit, your photos should be:
 

- well focused, not foggy or blurry
- 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 (vertically tip-upwards, especially NAKAGO photos) 
- without HABAKI but showing the MACHI and NAKAGO JIRI 
- made in high resolution to see details
- showing details of the blade (magnification or close-ups) like BOSHI, HAMACHI, HAMON, HADA, NAKAGO JIRI etc.
- presented as cut-outs so very little background is shown - we do not want to see your bed
 

If you cannot supply good photos (..."these photos are all I have from the dealer...."/..."I do not have a good camera but only an old mobile phone...." ), DO NOT POST THEM. They will not be helpful.
