Rivkin Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Personal opinion: It does look like an old attribution to Mitsuhiro who is a relatively recognized name, made in a bit unusual fashion on osuriage blade. This is koto, and quite possibly can be a Bizen blade. There is not much to see on such photographs but nothing seen contradicts Bizen. The big question is whether this is (early) Muromachi with a real attribution like say the last of Omiya school (for example) or its Nambokucho and possibly to a bigger name. Statistically one has to be conservative. To make a determination though really good photos are need, or to see it in hands etc.. Its not clear how much its out of polish. If you are thinking of parting with it, I would be interested in buying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdWolf Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 Thank you all for your help and information. NMB is a great place and a lot of members are always willing to help. Thanks for that. How old the blade is and to who it is attributed is the big question. I'm always conservative with blades especially when no papers. Unfortunately, my photography skills are bad and capturing more details of the blade is not possible. Regards, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Hi, to me it looks like the sword could be in a similar shape to a Gensuito. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
