I provided the translation below previously on your Facebook posts and identified this in my response as a Type 3 koshirae. Is there something further you are looking for?

These fittings have the double release buttons, and quite often have blades with a star stamp above the signature. Please take the hand guard and fittings fully off of the nakago (tang) and check above the hole above the signature for a star.

Mike, I would like clarity on the allegations of possible fraud with this sword made on Facebook?
According to someone there, they purchased this from you 2 days ago and have had no contact since. Can you clarify the situation with Seth on FB? Until this is resolved, I'd caution anyone against doing a deal on this if that becomes a possibility.
Just looking out for the safety of our members. I apologize if there is a misunderstanding, since the stats do show you're in Louisiana indeed....but I'm sure you understand why we would need clarity based on the buyer's claims. 2 Days isn't crazy...things happen. But I would urge you to make contact with him.
