Purchased from a reputable sword dealer in Japan. Apparently it was made by a swordsmith named Saneie from bizen province between 1240 and 1242 but is not signed. In poor polish with some scratches. Blade length is 5 3/4 inches and overall length of 11 3/4 in koshirae. Koshirae is old but not sure of its age. Nice hamon which goes back to the tapered part from the tip. Very sharp.
