I have restored and resharpened it: the bevel is finished on a fine natural whetstone, and the ura (back) has been polished to a 5,000-grit level. The soft iron backing is less rigid than what is typically found on modern tools; this indicates it could be a subtle-grained Watetsu (traditional Japanese iron) or perhaps soft iron imported from Europe during the Meiji period. When sharpening, the steel behaves differently from modern carbon steel—it has a distinct stickiness, suggesting it is highly likely Tamahagane. Despite some rust pitting on the ura, the tool retains ample life for continued use.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eRegarding its era, I consulted Mr. Tsuchida, who informed me that this is a textbook example of a fully hand-forged chisel from the mid-to-late Meiji period.
