Thank you all for your help and information. NMB is a great place and a lot of members are always willing to help. Thanks for that. How old the blade is and to who it is attributed is the big question. I'm always conservative with blades especially when no papers. Unfortunately, my photography skills are bad and capturing more details of the blade is not possible. Regards, Ed

A mekugi-ana only on one side of the tsuka? Never seen that before. How could the mekugi be removed?

I also doubt Japanese origin. No mekugi-ana?

The measurements are right.

@Jussi Ekholm Do you mean the following smith? All the other Mitsuhiro smith I could find are written like 光廣 and not as 光弘.

Using Google Lens gives you a pretty good translation.

The signature is indeed chiseled and painted gold. Wish my eyes where better. A few more pictures of the blade. Not great pictures but it's the best I can do.

Hello Christian, I'll post better pictures soon. Regards, Ed

Thank you all for all the help. I will try to take some good pictures of the blade. Need some daylight. In the meantime some additional pictures of the fittings. Regards, Ed

Hello Bryce, I'll check the signature when home. Need to use a magnifying glass. I have bad eye sight. Regards, Ed
