All input welcomed Here are my observation Military with family mount fittings 25" He has it listed as *MOTO YOSHISADA -FUJIWARA MINA* Tsuka and Fuchi have an design i cant make out No Identification on the spine of the nakago. Habaki appears to be silver Hamon is pretty interesting to my eyes Nakago has pretty long inscription (please translate ) Showa stamp makes me believe an early blade traditionally made ? *(years ago I believe Louis Mills read these swords and my Father in law probably just wrote down what he thought he heard )* Thanks for looking -Enjoy Steve

Thank you Gentleman getting ready posting another in a minute -pretty cool Hamon on the blade

Forgot to include this pic -also follow up question Is the Menuki a Volcano and blade from the Muromachi period Thanks Steve

Thanks for the reply's So am I understanding this that "Kaneyuki saku - 兼幸." is the smith and Blade appears to be" Koto Mino" would be in The Muromachi period (1336-1573) Trying to educate myself it making my head spin More sword inquiries to come hope I hope that is ok

This is listed as Army Mount Kanetsune
