Gentlemen,

 

Here are some pictures of the tang of the sword which was stored in the wooden box (see the Kanji written on a sword box topic in the translation folder).

The blade rest in a good quality shira saya.

Please note the habaki which is in solid silver. Please see also the marking C 17 on the habaki and on the tang of the sword.

Dear Bill,

 

Sorry for the late answer, here are the other pictures I took. Please note that I am a terrible photographer. The blade is heavy, thick and sturdy with a kind of double hamon at the boshi.

 

Hope it helps,
