Curran Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 ~~In FL, sans books for the winter. Can anyone do me the favor of scanning in the signature reference pages for Tadashige from the Akasaka book? Or Wakayama? Photocopy and snail-mail would work too. I'm looking at a visiting Tadashige. Workmanship has many traits confirming the signature, but still would like to see the reference sigs. Quote
Curran Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Posted December 18, 2012 Thank you Christian. Anybody? Quote
Ludolf Richter Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 Hi Curran,her are a few Mei-pics from my database.Ludolf Quote
myochin Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 Hi Curran, There are 6 pages of Tadashige in the Akasaka book, I can scan them for you tomorrow at work. Paul. Quote
Curran Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Posted December 20, 2012 Ah Ludolph! Thank you hero mio on this one. Grey helped privately, but I still was not confident. I knew there were many variations to his signature over a long lifespan. You have upped my confidence on this tsuba, "Tadashige". Now maybe 95% certain. Design was very characteristic, seppa dai too, but I wasn't sure about a few parts of the signature. Paul- Ludolph's images were enough for me. Thank you for the offer. Curran Quote
John A Stuart Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 I want to raid Ludolph's data base. I would like to have such a resource. John Quote
Brian Posted December 21, 2012 Report Posted December 21, 2012 John, I think ALL of us would love to raid Ludolf's database :D I think he was probably doing many years ago what most of us will only start doing when it is too late. Brian Quote
