Picked up a very nice 27" Shinto era katana this weekend, has snarling fanged devil for kashira and a blended metal tsuba that is a mixture of dark and copper flowing water type pattern, forget the school and dont have my books. Has a signature that I cant get anywhere with. As usual HEEELLLLLPPPPP please!

明珎紀宗
Myochin Munehara ...
There is something under "hara" then what might be 作 saku.
