Appealing Points:
NBTHK, the most prestigious non-profit sword organization in Japan, attested in the "Kantei-sho" certificate authenticity of this sword.  I myself applied for the certificate, and the certificate was most recently issued (as of this writing), just December 2019.  The original certificate comes with.
"Daimyo" Registry: This sword was registered in 1951, the year that the current sword registration system started in Japan.  Such swords, which were registered in a few years that the system started, are called "Daimyo" (feudal lord) registration swords as it was Daimyo or other Daimyo-like wealthy families who owned many precious swords and were asked by the Japanese government to register their swords in the early stage of the newly introduced registration system to familiarize it to the society.  Accordingly, there are many precious swords in the Daimyo registration swords, and many collectors prefer them.  The fact that the issuance # of the registration is very young, 16, should further support the above mentioned idea.
The blade is sturdy.
The blade is finely polished and is in very good condition.
Hamon temper lines are amazing.
Saya scabbard is beautiful.
