Dear Dick.

 

Well from the top, and most of this you know already, the menuki are average but not great, the tsuba is a classic Nagoya mono, for which much information is available but a neat summary is here, http://www.shibuiswords.com/nagoyamono.htm  Yours is in good condition apart from the small spots of corrosion which I will leave for others to comment on.

 

The fuchi kashira are the nicest element and I believe the suggestion was that they might be Hamano school.  Whatever they are they have some real charm.

 

All the best.
