Hi there, 

I have a sword in my collection that could be Ko-Bizen but is not papered. I am always a little sceptical about it because of the shallow sori and the weight proportions but at the end it is a good blade. It has a interesting sayagaki so maybe one can help me with the translation. 

Thank you 20260816_100543.thumb.jpg.a0c0a86c594929ece189be13d48cb587.jpg20260816_100615.thumb.jpg.267bee37108281db6b342447d2750075.jpg20260816_100640.thumb.jpg.33414e39198f88e584c0c4ab82b3db25.jpg20260816_100700.thumb.jpg.04bac05574e9af805cdcfd1b8a583fb2.jpg

Hi! I think this is

 

古備前正恒 地刃典型 傑作ノ一 刃長弐寸四尺四分二厘有之 昭和乙巳年葉(?)月於久我山房 薫山誌(花押)

 

Ko-Bizen Masatsune, classic/typical Jiba(Jigane and Hamon), one of his masterpieces, Hacho/length at 2 Sun 4 Syaku 4 Fun 2 Rin (70.72cm), 8th(?) month, 1965, at (his) house in Kugayama, recorded by Kunzan (Kao)

 

I'm not sure if the 8th month is correct...

You are correct for the month.

葉月 (Hazuki) - 8th month

 

And a little correction,

四分 - Shi (4)-bu (分 reads "bu" in the context.)
