NewB needs help WWII sword


BRUNROX

Recommended Posts

Greetings !! I purchased this some years ago as an Officers sword, leather covered saya, military mounts, and have been trying to figure out the Mei inscriptions for a couple of days now but no luck. I believe the first symbol is "Seki" , second one "Ni or San",but I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Mario P.

It is time for me to personally thank Moriyama san for his presence on our Board. Of course I knew that the three strokes also meant MI (as in mitokoromono), but couldn't see where it fitted. You grace us struggling gaijin (speaking for myself) Dear Moriyama san with your knowledge and the unstinting willingness to share it. So saying, I hope we give back to you in some measure the warmth and comradeship I personally feel from you "being here".

 

Best regards,

Thank You very much Mr. Moriyama, and Barry I think your kind words for Mr. Moriyama can not be said any better. I was able to find the exact Mei on Mr. Steins site under Showa era Swordsmiths. Thank you for your time and interest. Regards,

Mario P.
