I Have a Nihonto signed Kunitoshi. There seem to have been several over the years. How do I know which one I have? If it is Rei Kunitoshi, I would be very happy.

I am new here, so I do not know where to download a copy of the signature. Any help would be great.

Not Rai Kunitoshi. Yours is a Kunitoshi from mid-to-late 1600s. Could possibly be from late 1800s.

Rai Kunitoshi signature is different, he only made tachi (so the signature is signed on the outside when the sword edge is facing down), and the sword style is completely different.
