This tachi is signed Shintogo Kunimitsu, with the reverse side dated Shōwa 3 (1314). The smith is said to be the teacher of Masamune, and if genuine, would be a Juyo Bunkazai class blade. However, the seller notes that the signature is likely a gimei (false signature) from a later period, suggesting it is best appreciated for its craftsmanship and historical context.

The Kamakura period (1185 to 1333)
Nearly every later authority calls Kamakura the golden age of the sword: the first warrior government as patron, the great traditions at full strength simultaneously, and, tradition holds, the finest smiths of the realm rotating through Go-Toba’s court.
We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
