About this sword :   This is a blade that needs restoration and shinsa. It has scratches and surface blemishes. There is a bend in the koshi area of the blade. There are some small ware as shown in the photos. This has a nioi deki gunome hamon with togari. The ji has shirake utsuri with ji nie and chikei. Hataraki in the hamon includes sunagashi and ashi. The overall quality of the ji and hamon shows skill and control. The nioi guchi is bright and even in thickness from the machi to the saki. Ato-hi hori on both sides. The boshi is midare komi on one side and jizo on the other. This is in an old shirsaya with "Osafune Norimitsu" and "Showa" (Kamakura 1312 -1317)nengo wrtten on it. Old habaki is also included. In our view, this looks like Muromachi period Mino work.

Price: $4400
