Couple of questions re singunto 1944

Recommended Posts

Dear experts I would like to ask a couple of questions regarding officer singunto 1944. Thanks in advance.

 

1. Mei

In sword description it is written that mei means Kanetsugu. Is it right? I am not sure I can read it.

 

 

 

What I found surfing the Internet:

塚原 兼次 (Tsukahara Kanetsugu)

今井 兼繼 (Imai Kanetsugu)

前川 兼次 (Maegawa Kanetsugu)

 

Which one made the sword of mine? Or my mei shows the different one?

 

The example picture that I found for Imai Kanetsugu shows that mei made more carefully and with first name

 

 

 

Does it mean that in 1944 smiths did not spend time to make nice mai and did only quick one and only surname?

This is a non-traditionally made blade with an oil quenched hamon. It is not considered a nihon-to.

 

Thanks for your reply Chris.

 

Do you think it is OK with mei? It’s a bit roughly for me…

 

Don’t you have a book that I mentioned above?
