Is it still available? With PayPal and fast shipping to Italy, how much would you give me?

me too

What leaves me perplexed is that ...from the photos... the metal looks (like that of industrial gunto swords) without the metal having any activity.

I've seen a Tanto in shirasaya that interests me, maybe gimei...but I'm unsure whether it's a genuine Tamahagane. I only have these photos of the blade. I'd like an opinion. There are traces of rust (in spots), and the nagako looks good. The blade leaves me skeptical. But I could be wrong. Also, the era (it could be Meiji, assuming it's Tamahagane). I'm not linking the address out of respect for the seller.

thank you very much

thank John so it's only a calendar date...I think It could be different because the kakemono is from "Meiji period"1868-1912.

I think it's the title or the name of the author (of the painting)

Thanks for anyone who wants to help me

thanks Lewis B

thanks to all

thanks for your opinion

...those that are white threads on the blade are all hairs and not kizu

-First of all the habachi is so tight on the blade that it was impossible to remove it or simply move it on the nagako, I partly widened it without ruining the blade but it does not slide (only one cm) because if you see the part towards the nagako it is too tight ... I do not think it hides frauds, but you can see the two "steps" (Mune-machi ha-machi) between nagako and blade. -the blade has a "cutting edge line" that is difficult to guess but in some photos you can see a little. It must be a very polished blade. -The saya (wood) has a final metal part that I do not know if it is recent or antique. - you can see the mekugi-ana restored, I don't know if recently or in the past Let me know your opinion about possible age (edo or koto?) and the activities on the island-shaped metal (both sides of the blade)
