    Thank you, Steve, Before posting I checked Hawley's for ShoShin and did not find a listing for him, so I wanted to check my interpretation. Chris

    Gentlemen, Here is another katana that I am having a problem with. It appears that the first character of the mei is Sho-, I am having a problem with the second character, is it -Shin? The third character is Saku and it appears to have been made on a lucky day in January 1935. Am I tracking on this one? Chris

    Hello Everyone, Here is another sword that was found in type 98 mounts, and it appears that the blade was made in February 1668. Have I translated this Mei correctly? Does this Mei appear Gimei? i

    Piers, I can see Tada and there are a few listed in Hawley's for that time period - Thank you for your insight! Chris

    Hello Everyone, This is my sword which came in type 98 mounts and appears to contain a blade from possibly the Koto period. The first character of the Mei is extremely worn, which I believe is either "Fusa-" or "Yasu-" while the second charter is "Mitsu". Am I tracking on these characters? Any guesses? Thank you Chris

    Mal, Thank you for the information on this smith, I found a Yukimune in both Sloughs and Hawley (YUK 317) but did think this was the same smith.

    Hello Everyone, Am I translating this mei correctly - Is it Taira-Naga Saku or Hira-Naga Saku. I do not find either of these names in Hawley. Thoughts? Chris
