  1. Met with Bill Green last night agreed to post this on some of the forums I participate in. Bill is the gent who puts on the Tampa sword appreciation show and is trying to set up the same kind of event at the Timonium (Baltimore) Fairgrounds September 19-22, 2013. Here is the link to his Website and more information. http://www.southeastshowsauctions.co...more-2013.html
  2. how about that... full circle... this one has already been answered on this site... viewtopic.php?f=50&t=9387&p=77828&hilit=Nomura+Terujiro&sid=1676d834d59693d1a9dc45ccdc6350c7#p77828
  3. Thank you for the advice. Does anyone have a picture of Yasumitsu mei with only two characters? I found the pictures a previous owner took.... apparently better camera than mine. Chris Treichel
  4. This is from a gunto katana I just purchased for myself. I have been a longtime lurker reading posts but have yet to have the need to ask a question that I couldn't find the answer to in someone elses questions answered here. The blade is pretty standard shinogi zukuri with a suguha hamon (probably not traditionally done) I don't see any grain patterns in the steel. mei: The date was not too difficult Sho wa 1926 + 2 +10 (-1) 1937 year 1 month The mei I figured the second character to be mitsu but the first character is elluding me and I think I am starting to try to see things that are not there. Closest I came is yasu but that doesn't match up to any signature of yasumitsu I could find. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to render. Chris Treichel
  5. My name is Christopher Treichel. I have been reading this message board for some time and find the discussions very interesting. My interest in nihonto comes from my love of cutting implements as I study any and all methods for their construction and use. My love of nihonto comes from atempting to understand the height of the art of manipulating metal which is present in these works of art created in Japan. I am astounded every time I get to see another, but never forget that they are in their own right tools, albeight very beautiful ones. I have been grateful to have had the chance to travel to Japan to see the sword museum in Tokyo, to meet a sword smith and have marveled at the collection on display during the special and ongoing exhibits in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. These past two years I have also been studying Nakamura Ryu Batto Do. I have much to learn...
