Well I think its pretty certain that it reads: SAGAMI KUNI JUNIN HIROMITSU the question is shoshin or gimei. I think it looks not to bad from some of the examples I've seen but their is so much variation in these old mei and I am sure much more experienced eyes than mine on this board will have some thoughts. The work of course is what's key. Now c'mon, ya can't drop a mei like that on us without some detailed sword pics! Cough 'em up! :D

Thats a good start although it would be nice to see the rest of it. Will it be for sale at some date?

After further research I believe that the mei might be gimie. Also the work on the whole reminds me more of Norishige or some one who works in his style. Heres another pic , more to come later.
