Must have been editing while you were writing.
Anyway, close ups of the katana tang would be very helpful. |

Yeah, I had to compress them. Here's the best I can get at the moment. I'll try to polarize some tomorrow.
EDIT: there is absolutely no way to upload anything with enough resolution to be useful. I'm linking to my site. They're also pretty corroded. Last edited by Robert; 2nd April 2019 at 08:08 AM.

Google "Nihonto Message Board". That site will put you in touch with some of the most knowledgeable people from all over the world for Japanese swords.
www.militaria.co.za/nmb/ you will need to register, just like on here. Rich Last edited by Rich; 1st April 2019 at 01:51 PM. |

Almost impossible to read from those images but I will venture a guess it says "BIZEN NO JU OSAFUNE SADAYOSHI SAKU"
Good luck, Jerry |
