Just got this back from the Japanese sword society of Canada.
They authenticated it as genuine.
Amazing blade, everything on this sword is amazing, especially considering its age.
Two character stamp stating "nobuhide"
Its also signed on the other side of the tang.
Asking $2900 shipped
No trades

So what age do you have it pegged at?
Markings would seem to indicate wartime.

Son of Toshihide?     some more photo's please.

The signature seems TERUHIDE (輝秀) not NOBUHIDE to me

[cisco-san]

I would also go for Teruhide!

[Ed]

Nice blade, but not Nobuhide 信秀, Teruhide 輝秀.  Way it is engraved, mei looks like Ihara Teruhide opposed to Ishido Teruhide

 

CORRECTION: checking this post again and realized my comment regarding the mei should read the opposite. 

It should read, looks like Ishido Teruhide opposed to Ihara Teruhide.

[Stephen]

But and its a big butt!! hes allowed to ask what he wants....per rules not to be told anything other than correction of mei which hes been supplied. 

[Brian]

Correct.
But we do require at least a first name please. And I think clarification of what we have here is important to potential buyers.
You call it a rare signed WW2 katana, so I guess we would ask what makes it rare, and what did the society say it is?
