Hello, forumers

I have this sword in my shop, it came dressed as gunto, but I don't see any armory marks on this one. Hamon is bright and straight, and has a nice even hada. Very different from two seki blades that accompanied it. So I'm curious if this is a redressed older blade.

 

I'll appreciate it if you can help me identify the mei.

 

Thank you!

Thank you so much, Uwe!

 

Geraint, thanks for the advice: yes, the name gives me the chance to research more. I'm well aware of all the spurious swords out there, so I'll take it with a grain of salt, especially with a big name like this. It IS a very well made blade, though, so let's see =)

Thank you!
