Hi everyone am new here and this is my first post, have looked about a bit here and it seems a great site.
I will be posting up multiple items for you guys to view and would love any comments/ criticisms etc, firstly I’ll start with this katana I have owned for many many years, I believe it to be a 98? Would love any feedback also a transatlantic on the cloth would be great.
It appears to have a hamon line although not a curvy one more a straight one which is thicker in places than others and runs the length of the blade, not sure if it has a maker mark as I have not cleaned the tang but there appears to be something there on the one side? The scabbard is metal I believe.
Love the site and will look forward to posting more items up

Thanks

Forgot to mention as you can see in pics it is stamped 222,b2, and the small rounder price has what looks like a 4 and a small stamp on it, unfortunately the button release “clasp” retaining pin is broken so the sword isn’t secure in its scabbard. But I do like the price a lot it has a lovely quality feel. Will post up more Japanese and British items soon also have some lovely civil war swords and many many Ghurkha kukris.
