What is this... To me nakago looks descent, but the mei/kanji is odd. Also the blade looks weird... like it is machinemade/chemical treated/messed with in some way? Pictures are not good on auction, but does any have an idea what this is and what mei/kanji says?

Did any of you buy this blades? - It would be fun to see better pics of it if possible.

Looks iffy to me. I can't really say why, but it does. Something about the general shape and the writing style of the kanji in the mei just seem odd to me. The hamon looks too "bright" as well. I could be entirely wrong, though.

Also, I think this should go in the ebay/online auction section.

The kanji are..to put it politely.....rubbish.
The hamon is dodgy too..but the nakago, yasurime and patina look real.
At best, a messed with wakizashi. At worst...could be almost anything.
