I dont think youll get a close answer, as we Cant see the temper line in your photos so cant tell if the tips been reshaped without seeing where the temper line goes.One problem is photographing blades are tough to do without careful lighting....so,... Is it sharp all the way to the habaki, or does it have a flat( ? ),and how long is it from the blades inset into the habaki to the tip? Its been rehandled at one time, possibly more.Comment

Yes, VERY hard to get good blade pics unless you know what you are doing...which i do not! Anyway, I can not see any Hamon or temper line on blade at all, very bright blade so it should be there but i see nothing, uniform bright from top flat to edge. Blade is 26" long and sharp all the way to habaki.Comment

The Tsuba is a cast repro. The Fuchi-Kashira and Menuki look okay but are fairly low grade. The blade looks like it has a good chance of being okay with no flaws - if there was an unambiguous inspection/return period, I would take a chance on it.Comment

$600. I just sold a near mint Gunto on eBay for $1,600, and this one would cost that much to restore.
