I appreciate the feedback and help, in all honesty I would have felt absolutely awful if it had been high value as I don't believe he had been in a situation to reasonably afford it at that time. I'm not currently getting to keep anything, I have a few other weapons from various areas (a zweihander as one) and all of them are being sold for funds. Even if it's only $80,it adds up. Again, thank you all.

Thank you all so much for the help.

Thank you very much for the help everyone. I'll admit to being relieved it isn't super valuable as I feel less bad for having to sell it for money, but on the other hand it means trying to figure out what else to sell to make up the gap of needed funds. What would you figure it might reasonably be sold for? Thank you again.

Forgot to add that from tip to tip it's 96.5cm(measuring in a straight line from one tip to the other, not following the curve of the blade)

Alright, I got it free. I still don't know how to reduce the resolution on the pictures so apologies.

What if the pegs(there's two of them) won't budge? It says to be gentle but they're not moving. I'm also not sure how to reduce the resolution of the pictures, sorry.

Thank you, I will take some more pics of the tang and measure it when I'm back home later today.

Got it, here are the other two pictures I have of it currently. I have never taken it apart, so if that's needed some advice on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Here are two of the pictures, I've got two others that it's not letting me add due to size. Thank you very much for your help.

Long post, my apologies: I was gifted a katana made in Japan by a father figure over a decade ago, that he said he had ordered to be made for me. The tsuba is completely plain without decoration. Unfortunately my fiance and I are in a rough situation with our landlady selling the place we're renting with our wedding only a month month and a half away, and rental situations are incredibly limited here. We're basically being forced to buy a house that we don't have money for which means I have to sell my katana. I've done some poking around on the internet to try and figure out the value of it, but am having a difficult ​time. Would it be possible for anyone to provide me with some advice on the potential value of my katana? Thank you sincerely for your help.
