Hello,
I have discovered in a friend house of my father a beautiful sword, he asked me to give him some informations but I am not a sword's specialist (I am a french specialist of tosogu and tsuba).
I have tried to translate the mei but I don't understand it.
So, I hope that you could help me
For information : this sword was offered to my friend family by a rich Japanese family (I do not have more informations), but the mon seems to be the goshichi no kiri > represented on the saya and the kodogu wich are very very good.
The sword is long (more than 60 cm, but I think it is a katana), some scratches but well preserved.
I thank you in advance for your help !
Luc
