  6. Ah it is an early one indeed, how nice. That’s what I love about this field …the exception to the rules 😁
  7. You might be quite right Bruce. I can make up the 7 and 6 but the 9 also looks like a 3
  8. Today I picked up a sword with hozon papers by Munetoshi. I thought I’d share, perhaps the numbering is interesting for @Bruce Pennington. No stamps or nothing, just the number 392.
  9. On behalf of the Dutch Token society, I was asked to look at a similar sword just yesterday. (A spitting image ofvthis one but with a slightly higher serial number). It’s a decent replica, one of the better I have seen, but a replica nonetheless. The coincidence of seeing one here today strikes me as funny.
  10. I have that one, beiing a boardmember from the Dutch Token Society. I'll post you a pb after work. Cheers, Leen
  11. How nice, I visited him in Osaka once

    Which Kanetoshi

    Dear fellow Nihonto enthousiasts, can anyone point me in the direction of which Kanetoshi made this wakizashi? It is ububa, nijimei and has no nengo. I couldn’t find a definitive match on the mei and I am suspecting it was the showa era smith Murayama Kanetoshi…..and I might very well be wrong
