Katana "Tsuguhira" (fake signature)
Blade length 69.4cm, thickness at the base 7mm, width 3.0cm
This is a robust katana blade with fake signature. Total taste of the blade looks wild, but probably from 19th century.
Steel has a wood grain layer pattern. It is visible, but it is a little rough in some parts.
Hamon is made of large particles (nie). It makes an active pattern, well designed gunome.
Polishing work is not very good. It is not excellent work. Probably it is a simple work of old days just for use or so.
Of course, this is not a masterpiece. But it suggests us what a simple weapon in 19th century was. This is the sword for samurai warriors. When you hold it, you should feel some power.

Signature "Fujita ... Tsuguhira" in cursive style chisel work. But not very skillful. Of course, it is fake.
Habaki is made of copper. The gilt on it is half vanishing. It looks original from Edo period
