  1. Hello Everyone, My name is Kyle and I am new to this forum but ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated by Japanese culture and samurai style swords in general (especially after TMNT). This fascination didn't become wholly serious until my grandfather passed and was left a couple swords by him. At that point in time I reached out to this community for help in translation and dates on my swords and was completely overwhelmed on the respect and helpfulness from all of you. I have spent many hours on my own trying to research before coming to this forum which is absolutely life saving and I don't plan on slowing down on learning about WW2 swordsmiths in general and this community forum is a great place to start. Thank you
  2. Masakiyo Kyle Edit: I used a different camera with more megapixels so they had to be cropped a little bit and the file sizes seem to be much larger than the other pictures. I apologize
  3. Wow guys you are all so knowledgeable and very quick with your responses which I greatly appreciate. And yes Chris I was thinking about selling the 2 swords. Me and my mother sat down last night and decided that because of the our monitary situation and all the interest in these swords that she wants to unfortunately part with these swords. So I'm asking you guys what you think the best way for me to sell these swords would be. Thank you Kyle
  4. This is the second sword. And with permission from John Stuart I have included that he was able to identify this is in sosho and the swords maker as "Yakumo Amatsu Masakiyo saku". Thank you John. Also any other information from anyone or estimated values is completely appreciated. Thank you everyone Kyle W
  5. Hello I'm a newbie to this all and I was left 2 swords from my grandfather. I posted on another forum to get some information on them and was able to get some good information because the Nihonto community is very nice and knowledgeable. So now I am wondering if anyone could possibly tell me what these swords could be worth or any other information you might know about these swords? Thank you The first sword has no markings on the tang but each fitting has matching numbers including the lock button. I was only able to post so many pictures due to limits so I was able to show atleast 2 fittings marked. Thank you Kyle W (edited to add signature sorry lol)
