Thank you Ray. That was also my gut feeling while comparing this nakago with others from that era.

I have this sword. Pretty obvious gimei, but I am looking for opinions on whether the nakago looks altered/aged. https://imgur.com/a/NaRh08q

Name and date translation. Hard to see. suriage blade

I agree. Suke was my guess because it was the closest I could find. But I’m far from good at translating kanji, let alone kanji with 500 years of rust build up. Thank you for your help. -

That’s what I was thinking. It’s hard to see but I believe 禄 is the second character. Thanks for your help. -

Can someone please help me translate. I believe it starts bishu osafune but that’s all I got. Thank you. -
I have a tsuba with some kanji on it I can’t translate. Can somebody please help translate some of the characters are hard to see on the right side.

Thank. I originally thought muromachi but the lack of curvature threw me off. I will take better pictures tomorrow in the daylight.

Thanks for the reply Chris. What looks odd about it?

Is this katana Shin Shinto or older. 30” nagasa. Very tiny kissaki.
