Hi Jaybone, It is most important when buying any Japanese sword, that you have clear pics of the tang before buying. If the seller will not oblige, walk away from the sale. And if you are buying any Japanese Sword. look to Japan dealers of good standing.There are some good buys at the moment.Good clean polish and if you can afford NBTHK.You will win in the long run spending the extra money.

Cheer's, Mark.
