Kesho yasuri is present which is atypical; also, no horimono are present which would seem odd for one of the best horimono carvers of his time. Boshi is somewhat atypical. It seems like a good sword, but the price seems hopeful and has been dropped by $2000 usd. I have not really studied the mei. It is said to buy the sword, not the mei. Good luck to the seller and buyer.

Steve,

 

The clues: the price and no kanteisho

 

What do you think: the seller is a nihonto pro and he would not put the blade to shinsa just to earn a few thousand more? Search the average price of a Nobuhide: 2 500 000¥ (24 k$) there is a nice book written by Kunitaro san on the smith if I remember well

 

So nice sword but .....

I have the book by Kunitaro-san, and is a well worthwhile add to the library! Definitely many beautiful pieces with a bit of history added in. There are a few blades in the book that are sans horimono, but is definitely atypical of the pieces seen. I have a gimei Nobuhide with a 29in blade with hamon typical of his works, but the boshi, mei, and file marks appear to not depict his work. This piece seems to be the case as well, but still a nice looking blade÷

2 books on Nobuhide and students that I am aware of:

http://www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com/store/books/b794-kurihara-nobuhide-%26-modern-sword-artisans

Not sure if either is the book referenced.
