Wow, 13 years ago since I posted this. Even from an old email I don't have anymore. Anywho, here is ya'lls update.

Yes I did! I don't even have access to that old email anymore. I chose David Hofhine. According to some I may have made the wrong choice there. I think I remember years ago when I was trying to choose who to send it to I just got sick of going over all the details on who was more certified and chose someone that, from what I could see in the images, produced the most attractive results.

Thank you very much Adam! You're a legend!

Did I do something wrong? I thought I followed all the rules before posting. The signature is supposed to say Yoshi Kuni as far as everyone Ive asked has told me but I'm hoping to find out the specific smith.

Here are some more photos with different lighting. Seems I've maxed out the thread image upload limit.

Thank you very much for the input. I've taken some more photos that I'll post here now.

Long story short. Grandpa picked it up in the war and passed it down to me. Recently had it restored and I'm trying to find a more definitive answer as to it's smith and history. Please see attached and I can take more pictures if needed. I intend to hold on to this until it can be passed down as well so I have no intention to sell. I'm just here out of pure curiosity. One attached image are some mei comparisons the polisher showed me during his research but we never came to a conclusive answer. Thanks, Aaron W
