Thanks you guys for all your feedback I just want to finish With this last question Is The info under the black box correct for this sword? Also the date when was it made ? Naminohira made swords since the earlier 1300 or around about. That said when was this one produced This was what I was trying to convey

Can you elaborate about hamon and hada are encouraging?

Hi no signature from what I know this sword. Did not hav one how ever if it was signed it wore off over time Thais I why I wanted others to chime in I made the mistake of putting the description showing its 650 years old ! Namihira had been around A while I did get info by Some one who’s well known in the sword arena he said Tensho was a decent time for sword production, Momoyama (plum Mountain) period, 1573-1596. Your sword is later Muromachi, perhaps even Momoyama, My opinion is it’s probably 4 - 500 years old Anyway I’m getting it polished and excited to see how it turns out It’s 27 inches I did research for Naminohira as follows I believe that these swords are rare according the information I found Yes I will definitely send pictures after The polisher is well known and dose excellent work I hav to wait a long long time but it’s well worth it

Thanks for your support yes I will consider any offers

I agree Thanks Brian

Price of sword is now 2500 plus 50.00 shipping I thought by lowering it would get some interest I paid 2700 for a 500 year old Bizen sword in polish by Sukesada in custom navy mounts to me is a good price

Maybe should raise the price rather than lowering it which I may do

Thanks I will ask I probably shouldn’t hav added info
