If you fellow collector's, enthusiasts and scholars would like some  very nice nihonto items to study then check out the upcoming morphy auctions may 12th 2026. 

It looks like lots 1301-1328  are some fantastic tachi, katana, wakizashi , fuchi kashira etc.. Juyo items, TB Hozon etc.   I was studying the suishinshi masahide today for some time. 

Here is a link to the sale.

From the auction posted above: I know you have Masahide's kokuin listed in the stamps doc, however this may be a slightly clearer pic.

Thanks, John.  I like it.  August 1823.  I have one dated 1822, and both are after he switched his mei to Amahide after giving his Masahide art name to his son (they explain that, actually, in the sale description).

Thank you both, John and Bruce.  The chu kissaki is exceptionally well executed un my opinion.
