Hi everyone, few days ago I got an offer to buy a sword in shirasaya, it is aorund 350 euros. thing is they claim it is signed Kanemoto. Seller sent me a description they claim came with a sword from the previous owner from Japan along 12 other blades in 1991. 

This is rough copy paste of is there:

KANEMOTO 兼元. 

NAGASA 54,3 CM, SORI  2,0 CM, MOTOHABA 2,6 CM, Lenght with TACHI MEI 67,5 CM

KO HADA ITAME WITH MASAME

HAMON IS SAMBONSUGI AND HAS ASHI, YO, AND SUNAGASHI ACTIVITY

 

So my question with translation would be if it really is KANEMOTO, i have found this one by searching the kanji characters provided: https://nihontoclub.com/smiths/KAN1570 or https://nihontoclub.com/smiths/KAN1569

Tang photos are not great but hope they will be somewhat readable to someone.

 

Blade it self is tired but overall not that bad.

Therefore I am humbly asking for translation of the tang if it corresponds with what info (and "attribution") was provided.

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Best regards,

 

Martin
