Hello What about Naga 永 for the first one ? The second looks like Masa as you suggest 政 Sebastien

Based on the picture I would rather said midare than gunome. Nevertheless, you could found both : good and bad work with sunagashi. :D

sunagashi

- use of kozuka as Menuki - wook tsuka and lacquer saya - gold dragon in the kojiri but not in kozuka - tsuba not en suite - etc .... Does I read Gassan sadayoshi on the paper ?!

Hello, I already saw a such thing on a saya

Hi, signed Yoshita on the tsuka. I have already seen a such sign, that appeared to be the tsukamaker mei. -
Hello, Maybe reading of second kanji is not correct ? Can it be "Naga + something" such as Nagakatsu, Nagayoshi, ...
-
Hello Grey, Thanks for your explanation.
-
Hello, Thanks for your replies. Grey, I am not sure it is Shinshinto. It could also be a showa smith. BTW, page 216 of Markus Sesko's book, there is a katsumitsu in Keio (1865-1868), so near showa periode. I wonder if it could be this smith ?
-
Hello, This shinshinto tanto is signed KATSUMITSU. Following my researches, I found a smith who signed "Oshu Sendai no ju Minamoto Katsumitsu" and work at Keio time area. I wonder if someone has an oshigata or informations about the work of this smith ? Do you think this tanto could be done by him or just gimei ? Nagasa : 19 cm Any comment or information is welcome :D Thanks Sébastien

and don't forget the "museum quality"

hello, Mei of n°2 must be Kuniyuki 國行

Hi John, Thanks for your comment. yes it is an iron fuchi. I make some research in internet. As Masayuki is a big, I think it is a copy of his work. But I a have no idea of which school could have do it. Thanks again for your comment on this fuchi :D
-
Hello Thanks you for confirmation. Not sure of what it is : hamano or anything else. Here are the pics of the fuchi : Sébastien

Hello, Can someone confirm my correct reading of this fuchi mei : MasaYuki 政隨 Thanks Sébastien
-
Very nice fitting ! I like the sword with kurikata and kojiri which matched the tsuba and fuchi kashira :D
-
Hello, If you spoke about the upper part of the nakago without yasurime, it could come from a machi okuri operation.
-
Hi, Looks like the seki "kamikaze tanto". does the nagasa is about 15 cm ?

Hello, to adjust the koiguchi, I use a plane on a piece of honoki wood to get a thin wood chip. Then I stick it in the koiguchi like this. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=ca ... XOezwQdOfQ

a close up of a Japanese tsuba where a monster pull the tong himself :D click to enlarge

Hi, Another indication for cast is the lower part of the tsuba on the photo. You can see something that seems crude and unfinished. A failure during the cast process that won't be like this in a carve tsuba.
-
I was completly wrong !

hello, "Kuni" for last kanji. maybe akikuni ?
