Hi,

The mei reads Sagami (no) kami Masatsune (相模守政常).

Hi Mark and Nobody;

thanks for your reply,

I think I have a nice kogatana, it have a hamon with mont fuji to! but I´m a litle confuse! wich translation is correct?

備後 this was the BINGO I think Mark was going with, however Moriyama san's 相模 is correct - SAGAMI

 

KAMI is second word (thrid kanji) 守

 

Last two Kanji correct by Mark and Moriyama san is 政常 MASA TSUNE.... MASATSUNE

 

Generally we all have an opinion on different mei's, Sergio, but Moriyama san trumps us all 99.99% of the time so believe his version!!

 

Moriyama san... Trying to get that MASA on the keyboard is a right pain.... eventually had to type MASAKO and delete the KO 子 it's going to take me years to get to grips with this!!

 

CHEERS!

Hi,

 

FYI: I just found a kogatana with the same mei.

Looks like it was carved by a different person though, don't you think?

 

Sergio, Can you show some more pictures of blade and hamon?

 

Cheers

Hi sencho san,

Try to type "SEI" instead of "MASA".

Hi Sergio, Sencho and Nobody,

 

Sorry about that, I don't know what I was thinking and what makes it worse is that I have one almost identicle to yours

 

At least I got the Masatsune correct.

thank you all for your help...

sencho, I try to take some pictures of the kogatana, but is dificult!!!

but it have a similar hamon (almost the same as the kogatana in AOI ART)

the "nakago" is similar to but the cutting edge is a litle diferent is more elegant and more carefuly done.

 

regards and thanks
