  1. For you Bruce. No arsenal stamp.
  2. thank you xiayang!
  3. Wow thank you null device. I'm still curious, is the last what is the last character. Is it "kao"?
  4. Hi Everyone, Picked up this piece recently. A bit neglected and incomplete. Still sold. Feels like early/mid edo at my guess?? Unfortunately it has lost all it polish. Hada and hamon there behind all the scratches. Looking for help with the translation please.
  5. Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could translate this for me. 98% Sure its showato and not older. Blade does not appear to be folded, only clay tempered. Original polish is pretty much totally gone. Looks like five characters right? I think the first is "Ishi"? Any help is much appreciated.
  6. My 2 cents, when I look at the mekugi-ana i can see it has not been drilled by machine. Indicating olden hand tools, possible multiple attempts or re drilling.
  7. Thanks for Les, Cheers Dave
  8. Noted. I do plan on getting more...
  9. Dee, no its fine. I have definitely heard of gemei. I was trying to make my overly complicated thread a bit clearer. I must admit I did get a bit excited reading up on those smiths though XD
  10. Photos of "C" for anyone interested.

  16. Some literal light shed on A's mei , hoping if some can share some figurative light
  17. Some further pics on "C - Taikei Naotane". Is this Nashiji-Hada?, its so fine im not sure if its even there... The overall polish feels a bit amateurish to me. Some superficial grindlines. The kissaki polish is a bit rough. I took photos to emphasis this but still. - I think its a re-polish... Any idea anyone?
  18. Wow thank you nulldevice !!
