Thanks Ray No seki stamps only the mei. Cheers

Dear John, Thank you so much for your input....it is really appreciated. Do you know what era this sword may be dated? And is it probable that it is hand forged or machine made? I think your last opinion may be correct. Although I am still unsure about the seki or first kangi Thanks again for your time

Hi All Here a couple of closer straight on pics as requested....hopefully we can shed more light on this one Regards Miguel

Thank you all very much for your input, it is greatly appreciated!! Like George has commented I dont think it it is seki - i will post more straight on pics and closer and hopefully this can help. Do we have any idea of date or period of sword? Also is this a machine made or hand made blade? Thank you all very much. It just shows the diversity of knowledgeable people on this site....again thank you very much for your responses it has been enlightening. I will post more close pics shortly... Regards Miguel

Hi All, I'm new to collecting swords and have my 1st sword that I would appreciate assistance in Identifying sword, translating mei on both saya and nakago if possible? I've been told that the sword is possibly tachi koshirae mounted or handachi? If someone can please assist with the swordmaker and any dates - this is the only mei found on sword. Thank you.
