Here's a mumei Kyu Gunto which I would appreciate help with.

My guess is this is a Meiji era blade. Any conjecture on age/school etc. is welcome.

 

nagasa: 26.75" 67.9cm

sori: .46" 11.7mm

moto haba: 1.08" 27.4mm

saki haba: .7" 18mm

moto gasane: .24" 6mm

saki gasane: .2" 5.4mm

 

The blade is slender, almost "dainty".

Hamon is wide suguba based choji/gunome with ashi, nioi guchi. Hada is tightly forged, nearly muji.

 

Thank you.
