There are eight generations listed in Hawley’s book. This is not the famous second generation Shuri-no-suki Morimitsu of the early 1400’s but one of the later generations. There is a set of papers saying that it is gimei but that it is a Sue Bizen ryu blade. The polish is old but in good condition showing a midare gunome hamon with masame and mokume hada. Nice mounts all in chrysanthemum. Asking $1600 inventory 10/01/9B David McDonald jswords@mcn.net
