  1. Thanks Krill This is what I was hoping for I can compare the comment by looking at my blade in hand Any more pointers?
  2. Where do you see the utsuri?
  3. My knowledge of blades is minimal but I try I have some decent books but they didn't help much so I must be a slow learner What do these images tell me? If anyone wants a guess at the school please have a go. It is a very well known school Polished in Japan with new shirasaya and habaki and also papered I've looked it every day for a week but see very little but for one day only the area above the hamon 'popped' and I saw a lot more I see very little in the hamon area Any pointers would be appreciated
  4. A bit more 昭和, Shōwa 1926 +37 -1
  5. I'll make a note of the kanji as a reference Thanks
  6. Anything about a school or date which I assume to be Edo
  7. Any help with these old papers would be helpful I must learn some of these paper kanji characters
  8. I have a three volume Wakayama but not the same reference as you have quoted
  9. Many thanks Moriyama san Can't find him in Haynes, Wakayama, Kinko Meikan or Sesko reference books Late unrecorded maker? I've seen this design before but no idea where!
  10. Can anyone help with this kanji? Maybe: 鈴 大 寛 壽
  11. Warm soapy water and a tooth brush Bone or antler can also be used
