Hey David,
I'm sorry for the mistyping, I'm new at translating kanji. :D
If he is a Seki showato smith, doesn't his blade include a serial number or a stamp of some kind?
Because from what I read, he is one of the smith that provides blades for the war isn't he?
Because this blade does not have any stamp or serial number, just a mei and a green paint. :?
Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm new to all of this Gunto and Showato thing. :?
Thanks again.
