If you were holding a first-half of the 20th century Japanese sword (Nihonto) in your hands, what clues would need to give way for you to conclude that the blade was made in the traditional manner versus modern methods? A hamon line is present and hardware is respective of traditionally made blades.

Thank you for the translation. Would you happen to know why some Hattori Masahiro have the "NO SHU SEKI JU" before (above) the signature? Does it have any significance? I don't know how it translates.

I was told recently there are polishing services at a very high price but i would guess most prefer to keep everything original. As you can see, the scabbard has seen better days. Wondering if a gentle leather moisturizer is recommended for the leather portions?

I am very certain that it was not polished, and the blade does have some modest imperfections (spotting) that can be buffed. There is some light spotting here and there. I did put some light oil on the shiny part of the blade to prevent any further damage from moisture.

I recently acquired a very nice sword Through a very good friend and would like to share the photos. I do not know much about it, but was told it's a bring-back from WWII. I took some photos and any identification help is greatly appreciated. -Richard
