Had some amazing help with my last blade that I ended up returning, had one more blade come in with no papers that I'd love some advice on. From what I've translated I believe its signed "Bishū Osafune Sukesada" with the other side inscribed with a test cut " Performed at Edo, two body test cut, on a day in the 8th month of Kansei 8". Obviously assuming its gimei, but I mainly bought the blade because of the nice jihada and curvature of the blade. Would love to see if anyone else had a better/different translation or if it had legs to stand on if it COULD be authentic, and if not I'd love to get some opinions on the age/period the blade would be from.
