jojolee Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Hi Gens Recently, I just got a sword which has 4 character Mei as the attached pic, the Mei is clear but it's out of my knowledge because I couldn't find any of the related articles against the Mei and the swordsmith. From the outfit it looks like a WWII sword but it doesn't has time signs like other Shinwa period sword, so please help if any one can provide any valuable comments about the smith, time, history maybe? that will be much appreciated. Regards Joe Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Try 兼康 利光 Kaneyasu Toshimitsu ? Quote
k morita Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Hi, The mei says "Kanematsu(family name) Toshimitsu" 兼 松 利 光 Could you take photos of the blade? Quote
jojolee Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 Hi k morita Please check the attached pics for the blade, the blade looks ok, it's not in top range but still in good shape. Any idea about this smith? because I still can't find any thing against either 兼 松 利 光 / 兼康 利光. Thanks Joe Quote
cabowen Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Looks to be a non-traditional, mass produced blade. info on the factory smiths who produced these blades is very scarce. Quote
