No Gako Dai Sankai Kinen Sagami Taikai

 

 

Ag Department 3rd Commemorative Sagami Tournament

 

Probably a prize for a University event (Sagami is the location).

 

Fittingly, it is a Masamune (gimei)....

Hey thanks Chris I just put it together as masamune right before you posted lol...So you believe it to be gimei??

農学校 - Agricultural school

第三回 - The 3rd

紀念 - Commemorative

相撲大會 - Sumo tournament

 

There might be a specific name of the school before "農学校" on the saya.

Thanks for the correction.....

Marcello:

 

To believe it is gimei is probably a slight understatement vs Chris saying it IS gimei.

Dr. Barrett when I wrote "believe" it's not that doubt it is I just rarely speak in absolute terms when it comes to this board and images ect... What I am wondering is, could it be any masamune smith ??

I understand now - perhaps it is possibly "a" Masamune but I would even doubt that .
