Curvature doesn't look like the standard gunto style, and I guess it's a proper hamon we can kind of see there? Fittings look relatively decent too. It'll be interesting to see what those who know more about these things have to say about it, but for the moment I would actually suspect that it isn't a machine made blade, but a more traditional one, of unknown quality.

Agree, blade looks traditionally made. Could even be an older one.

HELP!
Can anyone read the inscriptions? Also, a couple Qs: 1. The wood peg holding the hilt together has "gone beyond". How should I substitute it..? 2. I'm trying to fix another tsuka, it's wood halves are held together with a black goo in the caudal (kabuto-gane) area. What is it made of, how should I remove it and with what material should it be replaced with? Best, and merry Xmas to all!
