Thank you. I’m very new to this. After a quick search of Munechika, I see that he was a renowned sword smith from the Heain period (Sanjo Munechika). Do you believe this is one of his blades? A forgery? Or a different smith than I’m thinking here? Also, the hole thru the Mei is due to it being shortened at some point…is that correct? Thanks again

Hello all. Can anyone help with this translation? Thank you

Thank you everyone for all the info you provided!

Thank you both for the information. Sorry my reply took so long. I will post more pics of the blade and fittings later today. Does the Showa stamp indicates this was a manufactured blade, not hand made by Hidetoshi?

Hi. I was wondering if anyone can help with this translation? Thank you! -Steve
