<div style=\"text-decoration:none\" target=\"_blank\"><img height=\"21px\" valign=\"middle\" align=\"center\"><font face=\"arial\" The katana is signed but can not translate theJapanesekanji signature, all i can translate is it dated second year and it has a testing record of cutting through 3 humanbody. based on my knowledge from the forging style showing on the tang, i would say thebladewas made during late edo period about 1850-1890, the blade is inexcellentcondition , it has very nice wide wavy temper line, matching dragon fittings, shark skin handlewrapping, nice high class luxury sageo, unique black painting design on the sheath, it measures about 25 inch for the cutting edge and 11 inch for the handle, over all is 41 inch with the sheath on, this is a very regretful sale, any one can translate the kanji on the tang please message me, i will be really appreciated, for safety reason i onlyacceptpayment made from paypal, for international shipping please contact me first,thanks a lot for your interest. <div style=\"text-decoration:none\"
