Looks to be a nice example of a Koto-early Shinto ask in Hira-zukuri form. Nice blade! Maybe three, four hundred years old? Do you see Amy forging flaws?

Hope this helps!

Lev,
There is few flaws on the the back part of the blade.

The sayagaki reads "Sagami no Kuni Ju Nin Hiromitsu saku. Hiromitsu a resident of Sagami made this. This man was a a lower mid quality swordsmith. This is the signature of the 4th generation Hiromitsu who worked in the mid 16th century. A sayagaki that is not signed by a recognised expert appraiser is worthless as it is the opinion of the owner or a dealer who sold the blade. If buying, buy it as an unsigned hirozukuri wakizashi from the Late Muromachi Period and give no creedance to the sayagaki.
