Hey Ray, I really appreciate your time and expertise! I was really curious about this sword and tried to figure out its origin. I am not a Japanese sword collector (you have probably noticed) :D Cheers, Tony

Hi Ray, thanks for the super fast reply. That is very unfortunate to hear, nonetheless, it was a nice gift of my uncle. He told me that he purchased just the blade in indonesia and had it shipped to France. Can you tell me how one coudl tell from this sword that it is fake? Is it the inscription? Cheers, Tony

Dear Community, I humbly ask for assistance with this sword, that I received as a gift from my uncle. He bought this sword in Indonesia and brought it to France many years ago. I tried decyphering the signature, but I can not find most characters, only the third character appears to be " Izumo" ? I would really appreciate if anyone can tell me more about this sword and maybe its history. Best regards, Tony
