    Hi Geraint, I believe the backstrap is a partially decorated general officer variant.

    Hello, any assistance with the translation would be greatly appreciated. I believe the first two kanji of the Mei are Bishu. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Thanks, Sean

    I thought I would attach some more pictures of the sword stand in case anyone wanted to see the other side.

    How exactly do you tell the difference between hakikake, kaen, and nie kuzure hamon patterns in the kissaki, as they all look very similar to me.
  12. Whitegryphon70
    Please correct me if I am wrong but from what I am seeing in the hamon it looks like suguha with Nijuba.

    The cutting edge measurement from the tip of the kissaki to the munemachi was about 22 1/2 inches, I am not home right now but am having my wife send my pics and I will post them as soon as I get them. If there are any specific areas I need to get better photos of please let me know. And thanks again for all the helpful information.

    Can anyone help with how old the koshirae is and what generation masanaga made this blade? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks again for all the input from the members of this site.

    Here's a pic, the other side of the stand is a big golden rooster with some mother of pearl also.

    I said picked up because I went and looked at a trunk and the guy had these sitting on top of it. It was a sword stand with this sword and a ww2 navy sword with an anchor stamp. He said his grandfather brought them back from ww2 and was stationed at pearl harbour, and that they sat outside for 3 months waiting to get through customs. I asked if he would consider selling them, he named a price and I went home with them and not the trunk.
