Light abrasion and oxidation along cutting edge. Suriage (sword with shortened tang) blade. 2-hole nakago, partial signature reads hitachi no kami fujiwara, probably by munishige from settsu province, most active in 1686. Noted for making very sharp blades, working in Edo. Listed in Hawley as Mun397. Scabbard appears original, but has been relacquered. Tsuka has old iron fuchi kashira.
