Cheers Geraint, I have another four Kinmichi's my Dad likes the Mishina School I prefer the ishido school but I'm sure I can suffer a bit longer 🤣

Hi Jacques I have some doubt myself seeing that it has the old paper, it was bought from a well known dealer but that means nothing. I have seen similar Mei on line, will need to give it more study. My dad bought this sword, I personally would not have as it's not to my taste although it has a nice koshirae. Cheers Chris H
