Kagemitsu Old Sword provided by Mike Wolf.
This is an example of a hand made Japanese sword with the signature of Kagemitsu. It was common for many generations of sword makers to sign exactly the same way. Therefore, even the "experts" would be guessing as to the exact date. The documented time line would be from 1319 to 1688. I know it is a nice "old sword" because while I was having it professionally polished several collectors proposed trading with me.
