Hey all,

 

I'm looking at a blade that has these dimensions and am curious if this fits a certain age.

 

Iori-mune

O-suriage Mumei

Bohi through nakago

Nagasa: 65.5cm

Nakago Nagasa: 17cm

Sori: 1.3cm

Moto-Haba: 2.74cm

Saki-Haba: 1.84cm

Moto-Kasane: 5.6mm

Saki-Kasane: 4.5mm

Kissaki-Naga: 2.4cm

Thought I would add a couple pictures. The hamon appears to be a thin suguha (Hoso, Ito?) with several areas of humps (Komidare?). With the state of the polish, it is hard to get pics of the hamon and boshi seems obsured by damage, but here they are.

 

Would this point to a shinto school or smith?

I'm still piecing parts and pieces together on this katana as I learn more about terms and things to look for. :)

 

I am seeing utsuri with roundish peaks and valleys towards the kissaki end, possibly with a dark line underneath?

 

I captured this with my ancient cell phone camera, hopefully it turns up so it can be zoomed in on to demonstrate what I'm talking about.

 

Thanks for any leads.
