Piotr,

You didn’t show the full tang. Are there any stamps on it or stamped  numbers?

[piotr67ce]

Corrected, now ful size images. I can't find anything else here, is it good or bad? There is serial number on tsuba, and the same numbers on seppa.
What you think?

Works by Teruhide are regarded as Gendaito and he didn't seem to make a habit of dating his work. So nothing to be worried about, you have a nice Gendai sword, even better if the mounts are in good shape as well.

Hi Piotr, 

I know that many other NMB members have them but for your interest and comparison here are pics of your TERUHIDE Ishido mei followed by my own.  No date or stamps on mine either.

Lack of stamps on the nakago most likely means he made/sold this to a private sword shop.  Lack of stamping can also help indicate the blade could be gendaito.  Not conclusive proof, by itself, but adds to the evidence.

Thanks guys, it was usefull. Do you think it is worth to send it to NTHK for appraisal?

No need, it's fine as is and would be a waste of money in my own honest opinion. And no worries if it being gimei
