  1. Thank you all for your help and information. NMB is a great place and a lot of members are always willing to help. Thanks for that.

    How old the blade is and to who it is attributed is the big question. I'm always conservative with blades especially when no papers. Unfortunately, my photography skills are bad and capturing more details of the blade is not possible. 

    Regards, Ed

    Excellent find Dale!
    If someone can work on a translation of that, I think that's your answer. It is too similar to not be related. I suspect this is the same age and history of the one under discussion.

    Using Google Lens gives you a pretty good translation.

  3. Recently, I have added a naginata naoshi katana in military mountings to my collection. I'm excited about it and want to share my excitement withyou guys. I really like the blade shape. The nagasa is 67 cm. The original signature is lost but the signature is painted in gold kanji (Mitsuhiro) on the nakago.  The blade is in a good condition. Not the best quality pictures but the best I could do.

    Feel free to comment. 

    Kind regards,  Ed

  4. Hi Steve,

     

    At first, I had the same feeling about the kogatana and the saya. I have mixed feelings about the saya. It is obviously strange and it has the vibe of a tourist piece but on the other hand the fit is perfect. Why use a good kogatana to create such a saya. 

    The poem intrigued me as well but I can't read even a part of it.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Regards, Ed
