Thanks for all information My sword is surely a traditional hand forged blade, i don't know if made with tamagane or other steel. Is it possible that the blade was forged by a Kaneyoshi that usually not forge at Inaba and changed the kanji of Toshi in this case?

I’ve posted the photos of the blade on this topic

The nakago of my Mantetsu
-
The link was removed from ebay, but i have the photos of the blade where is cleary visible the yasurime are changed
-
The blade is very nice. But was on sell on Ebay and there was the photo of torokusho where result the nakago was signed and not mumei. I thick the mei was removed and the yasurime changed.
-
The nakago is signed : Osaka ju Gassan Sadakazu Kore tsukuru (August 1893) Meiji 26 year - 8 Month - Horimono made by himself
-
Yes

I've fond this katana at an estate, the horimono is well carved and also the sword seem to be well forged, hamon it's a very good choji with many hataraki, and also it seems to have also midare utsuri. The nagasa is a bit short only 64,5 with 1,8 of sori. What do you think about it?
-
I've found this blade it will be shinshinto, have a nagasa of 56 cm and a kasane of 0,9 cm and the nakago is 26 cm, and over the horimono the blade became u no kubi zukuri, the mei is not totally readable but have a kiku shoei. Anyone hava an opinion about it? _____________________________________________________________________________________ Stefano P.
