Help On Showa Zodiac Dated Sword And Smith


Ron STL

Recommended Posts

Just trying to figure out this smith and the date on this Showa era sword. I believe the date (zodiac form) looks like mizunoto hitsuji (1943) but what are the last one or two kanji? Also, the smith puzzles me, so a reading on this mei would also solve the puzzle. Always appreciated, guys and gals. Ron STL

Thanks guys, for refreshing my memory. For some reason I seem to have a hang-up with recognizing the Mantetsu kanji, and have asked NMB this same question before. I was just looking at an Koa Isshin with the Mantetsu saku signature, but so it goes at times. Thanks Pete for mentioning the Shinshinto Taikan, I'd forgotten that handy list.
