Here is a sword that was presented to me as a very unusual "Damascus" blade in old gunto mounts. "Blade much older than the mounts." I know very little about Japanese swords. Offered by a local dealer who is a world class expert in another collecting arena.

The sword felt "off" to me and I did not buy it. Did I make a mistake?
