To my untutored eye it looks a nice piece. There is a dedicated nihonto site here,
http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/forum/3-nihonto/ with very knowledgeable members and a wealth of information available. I would add the caveat-warning though that they can be downright harsh and judgemental, especially to the beginner or entry level collector. You also need to turn the tsuba round, the Kodzuka-ana (opening in the guard) goes to the inside when the sword is worn edge up, so that the more elaborate decoration faces forward when worn. |

They will be able to tell you a lot more about your sword there than I can. Truth is, I am also nervous when I post there!

Nihonto
Be prepared to let them tear your sword apart as well as the harsh language...
