signed katana for id and discussion please

[Maskell]

The signature is very dark, I'll make a guess at it. "NOSHU (no) JU SEKI KANESUMI? The last kanji SUMI could also be TSUGU or TSUNE??? just not clear enough.

Best,
Jerry

after looking at the signature closely I have found a showa mark just visable under the rust ,which I think shows that it was made for ww2 and so not an old blade

I suspected that. Nevertheless, the fact that is a Showa blade, doesn't mean it cannot be a good and valuable blade!

hi, yes its does look to be a good blade and the whole sword is very good condition. I expect military collectors would be interested

Let's say it is in a desired condition for WW2 collectors.
