I’ve recently acquired the sword and I’m only a beginner with really no knowledge of true nihonto swords. I’m not needing a value of the sword but only to know is it a real nihonto blade. The mounts are shin gunto type 98. The tusksa is in decent shape for its age.
the Bo-hi runs all the way down to the end of the tang. That is the part I wonder about most. The signature seems to run into the bo-hi. Right below the peg hole there is a tiny flower stamped in if you zoom in on the tang picture you can see it. Thanks. for all input good,or bad. This post is not for financial gain it’s my personal sword not for sale
