Thanks Bruce! Thought so but just didn't know if it was atypical or inauthentic. On a formatting note, is it better to upload the pics directly into a post?

Hi everyone, First post, I'm Michael. I regularly browse auctions and this forum just to tempt myself but I haven't got the knowledge (and often the money) to commit to buying a nihonto. I'm trying to slowly change the knowledge issue so I was hoping to get your opinions on this sword: https://www.invaluab...tion-lot/_6E44725B14 The shape is throwing me off especially the kissaki. The photos don't make it very easy to read the characters but any translation would be a bonus. I'm not looking to buy it just wanting to learn and train my eye a bit.
