Masamune?

[John A Stuart]

Hi All, There is an interesting blade being sold by Kanetoyo on e-bay item#150125642733. Masamune!!! I have been watching it and trying to make an opinion on it. It has some interesting features, but, Masamune? Ignoring the mei, what do you all think? John

Hi:

I can not see this as the work of Soshu Masamune. Can one imagine a Masamune selling for less than $100k 11 bids and it is up to $2100. The blade is not in great shape.

Hi,

 

"Masamune" does not always mean the only one Masamune. The NBTHK paper says that it was made by a Masamune in late Muromachi era.
