WilBru5 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Posted October 4, 2019 Hello Recently I acquired a couple swords.... In researching them I found this forum, and due to the knowledge base displayed, joined in hope of learning more. Here is some shots of one of the swords... I can provide more pics as needed. Quote
Bazza Posted October 4, 2019 Report Posted October 4, 2019 Bruce, I think the last character is SAKU (made), with an unusual flourish. The mei looks good to me even without going to the books. Seems to be a GASSAKU (joint work)... Regards, BaZZa. Quote
