Hello everyone,

 

Hope all is well. I'm writing regarding a signed nihonto. I noticed that most people here a very knowledgeable and helpful.

 

Basically, I'm looking for any information the mei. I know that is very very hard to give credible information just by looking at a picture, but I though I'd give it a try (received a lot help on my last post).

The tang has A mitsu-momi, which I read is rather rare.

 

Thank you very much!

 

Happy easter or/and have a great weekend

Lukas,

you are right: It is not easy to make a statement just from photos, but in this case I am quite sure this sword is not Japanese but a copy from elsewhere. The KANJI are not a MEI but a date (probably HEISEI  平成), punched in obviously with a kind of screwdriver, and the blade - although the photo shows no details - differs a lot from authentic blades. KISSAKI is wrong, and the MACHI do not line up. These are give-aways for cheap fakes.

I hope you did not pay much!
