A sword in the style of the Bizen Osafune school. The sword smith was Ju Yokoyama Sukenaga, forged in 1840. The jihada is a very fine mujihada that requires great skill to create. The hamon is kanemoto and the sword has a shallow sori characteristic of the Bizen school.

 
Oh, I should say I bought it last Monday from an antique armaments dealer in Brighton!
