A few blade pics. I dislike photographing blade details, so difficult..as you all know,,esp when out of polish..
-
Yes, the lowest section had rotted leather on it.
-
Saya very rusted in middle section. I oiled it then scrubbed it, by hand, to make it slightly more presentable. It looked like it had come out of a Burmese swamp.

Note large sarute, and ok sized same nodules. Gold wash to habaki.

Thanks guys. The hamon is an un-exiting gunome, glimpses of which can be seen in pics. I can't see details of hada. Steel is quite uniform, 'blueish' hue.

Another mei pic with a comparison

Thread kindly moved by Brian from translation section to nihonto section. Am I right in thinking this piece has good potential? I am not a Shin-shinto collector, but it seems this may be good.

Nice item there!

Thank you for the input guys. I like this piece alot, but I may pass it on as I was aiming for something earlier when I was studying it pre purchase. Got me well interested in the Tegai school though...
-
Some more pics.. Starting to like this piece alot. Hard to explain, different to pieces I have looked at before. Looked at some Tegai pieces on the net. Can see similarities.
-
Ok. I will set to with some uchiko and do some more pics. It seems the blade has a vaguely bluish hue.

Thank you Chris
