Thank you for your help!! What do you think of the pictures?

What would it take to find to find the original owner (family)? Impossible task?

Blade is crisp and the hamon is very noticeable for its age (I think), I am just leaning about this history!

This is exciting!!!! I did order a book off Ebay to help me decipher. Thanks you for the links in the previous reply!!!

What is on the spine? Google says this one might be hand made for a special purpose or a test unit?

The name on one side and the date on the other side? Thank you very much!!!

Requesting translation of signature on both sides of tang. I apologize if im using the incorrect terminology. No serial numbers are stamped anywhere. I have more pictures. What a relic! It feels special. I wonder who held it!!??!!
