Welcome to the forum, John. Please post over on http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/27284-new-member-introductions/ & tell us a bit about yourself, & your interest in Nihonto.

Hi John 

 

i hope,  it was not yourself  that  cleaned the  Nakago / Tang , because it has been over cleaned , not sure obviously of your level of experience collecting Japanese swords ? but check the care and maintenance recommendations on the NMB.

Yup. Two rules of life. Never play cards with a cheetah, and never clean the good black rust off a Nakago.

Hi John,

 

On googling this smith seems to the 8th generation Nagamichi working around the Bunka-Ansei eras (1860s)

 

Here is a daisho by this smith for reference http://https://www.seiyudo.com/kwa-010214.htm
