    Mei question

    Jacques replied to Mike P.'s topic in Nihonto

    Hi, No need to check the signature, this blade cannot have been made by Osafune Tomomitsu (Nanbokucho era), this blade (which seems ubu) is really too short, About the signature, it should be Bishu Ju Osafune Tomomitsu 備州住長船倫光 and not Bizen kuni Osafune Ju Tomomitsu 備前國長船住友光. Edit Ju 住 is placed, thanks Jean.

    Hi Naga maki means with long wrappings. According Kanzan Sato sensei this expression applies to the long strip of material wrapped around the handle and not to the blade itself.

    sa naginata ???

    Jacques replied to bubbles's topic in Nihonto

    Hi, On shoshin mei, the right vertical stroke never crosses the lower horizontal one. About age, it seems to be kesho yasurime, so this blade is shinto or shinshinto but not koto.

    Hi, This blade is not made by Henmi Yoshitaka whom was born in Koka 3 an died in Taisho 9. I can't see clearly the nengo, if some one can tell which it is.

    tsuba to discuss

    Jacques replied to reinhard's topic in Tosogu

    Hi, My knowledge about tsuba is near zero but i don't think this one is an Akasaka. It seems a little bit too large and the mimi is thicker than the seppa-dai (that should be the contrary for Akasaka tsuba).

    Hi, Here

    Hi, Could it be 貫徹 (meaning realization)?
  16. Jacques
    Hi, Tôshirô is a common name; there were some swordsmiths bearing this name. Few swordsmiths like Miyoshi Nagamichi included it in their signature.
  17. Jacques
    Hi, It's not a chinese fake, the mei reads Noshu Ju Akikane (I'm unsure for the kanji AKI).
  18. Jacques
    Hi, A little correct about the mei, it reads Sesshu Ikutama no shô Inoue Tadashige.
  19. Jacques
    Hi, Because of the yasurime i would eliminate Mino smiths
  20. Jacques
    Hi, Seems Bishu Osafune, maybe a koto blade.
  21. Jacques
    Hi, These books: Military Swords of Japan and The Oshigata book, both by Fuller and Gregory. Seems one is available here for a *nice price*

    Hi, Thanks Brian, As i have not yet recieved my books about this subject, i don't know this kind of dirk. However i can see the knowledge of the seller is as much high than mine on this matter
  23. Jacques
    Hi, A second WWII naval dirk with Toyotomi emblem? Amazing.
  24. Jacques
    Hi, what do you think about Soshu Yasukuni 相州康国?
  25. Jacques
    Hi, why do you say that the mei is located at a wrong place?
