Hey Guys. Im new to this forum, and was told it was a great place for Japanese swords. Im a member of Germandaggers.com and have posted this sword there. I need help with a translation. I was able to get one side of the tang translated, but the other no one i know can translate. discreption below. Let me know if my research is wrong. thanks. This sword makes me want to get into Japanese swords. Just indirectly picked up this beatiful Japanese sword. I have done some research, and wanted to see what you guys think. This is a Shin Shinto period sword. The Smith who made this sword belonged to the school of Yokoyama Skemitsu in the Bizen province, and worked in Mito, Hitachi province. Its a Yokoyama Bizen Blade. Dated 1865. The sword is about 28 inches long (massive). Its in Perfect condition, and is real stunning. My sister Boyfriend is a sword collector so he was a huge help in getting the info. The long writeing on the left side of the tang could not be translated. Mabye some one here could help. This sword was pulled of a dead Japanese officer. I never thought i would find something like this. Its an amazing looking sword.
