The condition of the blades combined with the poor photography do not allow for any form of educated opinion on the blade. What confuses the situation is the insertion of a second sword in the last two pictures. The pictures of the blade itself seems to show scratching from poor cleaning. There is nothing to indicate the temper line, which is likely obliterated due to cleaning with sandpaper or another form of abrasive. Both are true Japanese swords but any comment on quality or value from these pictures is impossible

Thanks Bob,
Think I'll walk away from this one.
