71cm (approx. 28 - 3/8") of shinogi zukuri form with an indistinct cloud line at cutting edge; does not appear to be a true hamon. Mumei, with two mekugi-ana, kiri nakagorjiri with sujikai yasurime. Silver habaki with carved design of falling rain, tsuba with designs of quail over a stream on face, and a more simple stream scene on reverse. Fuchi, kashira, and menuki in the form of horses (menuki partially obscured, possibly samurai mounted), fuchi and kashira with a nanako ground. Plain wooden says with light green sageo. CONDITION: Blade is not in polish with a frosted appearance, but has no fukure or hagire. Mounts are good with some rubs and handling marks commensurate with age. Should be a good iaido.
