Isocyanide,
Always, this is exactly what we are supposed to do with a Muramasa...
Unfortunately, I don't have many enemies so it becomes difficult these last times.
Thanks guys for your compliments.
Fuuten, sorry but these pictures are the only ones I've done.
It's true, It's not very convenient but you can see the Hamon is symmetrical on both sides on my two first pictures
In the Kinko Meikan, there is a TADAMITSU who has a similar Mei.
It says : "Musashi province, Student of Goto Injo, lived in Edo.
Grade = A - Ryoko
But I can't confirm that this TADAMITSU is the same as on the Haynes. The Mei is very similar but not exactly the same way to sign.
Anyway, it's a nice Tsuba and I haven't seen many like this.
Same opinion as Chris, it seems to be TADAMITSU (ca. 1850-1900)
Haynes index says : "Iron plate tsuba carved as semi profile severed head, in rather naturalistic style."
Hi Thomas,
It seems to be a very interesting Yamato blade.
Hoping that you'll be able to take better Hada and Hamon pictures next shot, for the eyes pleasure
Hello the board !
Have you ever seen this kind of certificate ? Where does it come from ?
Could you please help me to translate it ?
Thanks !
(I slightly accentuated the Kanji with Photoshop for a better viewing)
Thank you for your replies !
Rokujuro, the (X) is too difficult for me too, and it is mainly for this Kanji I posted...
Nobody, yes it seems to match perfectly !
A "Yoshitaka" on sale on a Japanese website (finesword) :
Thanks again guys !
Hey the board,
Hoping that someone will be able to translate this handwriting text, it's impossible for me.
Of course, I know it's a Hizen Kuni Tadayoshi blade but it is the only thing that I can read in this paper.
Know what generation is it would be interesting !
Thanks !!
