Right now I'm waiting for EMS to resume delivery so I can have my sword shipped out. I purchased my sword from e-swords. Not sure what else I can do at this point.
It's on the older side. Documentary from 1969. Does anyone recognize the swordsmith? And his forging method, is it Hon-sanmai-gitae, or Shihōzume-gitae, or something else?

Can anyone confirm the swordsmith as Ogawa Kunihiku by the signature? I know he as a son (Ogawa Mutsutoshi) who is a active swordsmith. I'll be using this sword for Iaido.
