Hi
I asked two questions on the translation thread in regards to my gunto.
Ray Singer was nice enough to translate the date and maker, keeping
the maker hidden as a spoiler because I had mentioned wanting to learn
how to translate/read Japanese myself. Pretty cool. Spoiler alert,
the signature is Toshimitsu.
I have done a little research here and on the web and have come up with two possibilities.
1.) Imaizumi Toshimitsu With a connection to Bizen Osafune
2.) Numazawa Toshimitsu Student of Toshihide I will attach a photo of Toshihide, Toshimitsu is second on the right.
Mfr. April 1945
My question is: Would either of these smiths be the signature on the Nakago? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jeff
