Gendaito, traditionally hand forged sword
Flamboyant/wavy temper line
Original wartime condition - scratches, dings, maybe slight bend

Handle/wrapping is very nice with the exception of some cracking under the wrap in a couple spots

All fittings are there and have matching numbers
Blade appears to have a slight bend - I\'m told these are easy to fix, but I leave things as I find them

Overall this is a nice as found wartime gendaito by one of the few wartime seki smiths that produced better swords
