Kind of rough, isn't it? Still, the price is low; with the savings, a polish or window may be helpful. I do not think everything is original to the blade. Some remainder of possibly takanoha yasurimei may point to older Mino work, and i can see an indication of notare or gunome hamon remaining.

I would pass my turn on a such tired blade Christian. Moreover, nothing interesting regarding the fittings. Hopping that a polish could rehab the blade is risky. Yes, the price is low. But it's just what it's worth. Not an hidden treasure for sure.

Well, for the price, you’re not taking a great risk. The blade looks genuine if in bad condition. I’d cave.

 

The only thing I really don’t like is the nakago. Not healthy at all!

Tough crowd! :laughing:  We do support preservation, right? It would not be cool if it got sold to some guy who was going to turn it into a Bowie knife. Some of us had to start at the bottom; this blade may be the bottom, but it would be a start. It may not have much up potential, but..... :doubt:
