I'm hoping against hope, I know, but any body have the first guess what the visible character are? My first assumption is that this isn't a very old blade as much as it was a nakago that was kept wet for much longer than I've been alive. The rest of the blade isn't in polish but is nowhere near the nakago's condition. This was a recent find at a local auction so it is still on it's way to me so I've only got the images the auction house had. Best of luck to y'all.

I appreciate the quick reply Ray. There doesn't seem to be an inscription on the reverse and unfortunately I wasn't given any photos without the string in the way. The only other image I have of the nakago is still partially obscured but does not seem to show any characters above that string.
