Thanks Bruce... I just need to hunt down a couple pieces for the saya.
I was wondering if this could’ve been from the edo period. I hate reposting on different sights... I will see if anybody can add information, if not, I will go there. Not a member on that forum.

Thanks for the info Guy! I took Bruce’s suggestion and posted on the other site as well (To see if they can date it or add any additional info). It definitely is an interesting sword and glad I lucked out. There almost seems to be a signature on the tang but too much rust to be sure.
Thanks again! And... I did get your joke!
