Agreed, post it to Nihonto Message Board. Nice looking, possibly recent (Showa) ken blade. Previously mounted - two mekugi-ana,
One through part of mei. What is the koshirae made of? Never seen mounts like that. Rich |

This is a KEN, it is dated 1874, and it appears to be signed Hozan but with the extra hole and the odd orientation I am a bit challenged. The mounts are terrific

Nice to see a Japanese blade here. I look forward to seeing more about this one.
