  1. https://www.google.com/search?q="水心子正秀"+"日本刀"&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwj11dG1jv6EAxVxkLAFHY_mDagQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq="水心子正秀"+"日本刀"&gs_lp=EgNpbWciHSLmsLTlv4PlrZDmraPnp4AiICLml6XmnKzliIAiSO8lUPQBWMojcAB4AJABAJgBc6ABmAOqAQM1LjG4AQPIAQD4AQGKAgtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ICBhAAGAcYHsICBBAAGB6IBgE&sclient=img&ei=y1v4ZbXEOPGgwt0Pj823wAo&bih=798&biw=1222&prmd=ivsnmbtz&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS954US954
  2. As mentioned earlier, there is a lot of information online. If you search and find one with an associated paper then it is likely an authentic example you can study for reference. https://www.google.com/search?q="suishinshi+Masahide"+site%3Aaoijapan.net&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS954US954&oq="suishinshi+Masahide"+site%3Aaoijapan.net&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDY4MDNqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  3. This is what I was seeing as far as placement:
  4. From what I can see this is a traditional bukezukuri koshirae (mounting) which was adapted to be carried into World War II. I would suggest shinsa if you would like to validate the inscription.
  5. You can try isopropyl alcohol to remove the accumulated material. Don't do anything otherwise to polish on your own or remove any stains in the blade.
  6. Your translation is correct. Suishinshi masahide (KAO) Bunka san nen hachi gatsu hi (a day in the eighth month of 1806).

  8. I'm surprised that you would struggle to find information, he was an extremely famous smith and there is quite a bit of material online and here within this group if you search. You said that your sword was made in 1806 and from World WWII. You are saying that it is in WWII gunto koshirae? https://www.google.com/search?q="suishinshi+Masahide"&oq="suishinshi+Masahide"+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIICAMQABgWGB4yCAgEEAAYFhgeMggIBRAAGBYYHjIICAYQABgWGB7SAQg2ODM3ajBqN6gCALACAA&client=ms-android-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#ip=1
  9. My guess is Bizen no kuni Osafune Sukesada Tensho go nen ___
  10. The individual sets are now on Amazon as well. I am still working though the process for international Amazon sites (they don't make it easy) but the US Amazon has all three now. Names (Mei) - $25 https://www.amazon.c...2T4?ref=myi_title_dp Places (Kuni) - $25 https://www.amazon.c...71G?ref=myi_title_dp Time periods (Nengo) - $25 https://www.amazon.c...SL5?ref=myi_title_dp For any international buyers, please message me directly for a shipping quote. Best regards, Ray
  11. Modern fake of an Enomoto Sadayoshi Sadahito gassaku shinsakuto.
  12. The sayagaki is to Tsuda Echizen no kami Sukehiro. Show the nakago (tang).
