Cello Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Hi I'm having trouble with the MEI....I'm thinking the last two are Kane Mitsu and have no real educated opinion on the first two?? Any help out there? :D Quote
Markus Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Hi Marcello, the mei reads "Yabushita Yoshimitsu". This is the smith in question as listed in my swordsmith index: Yoshimitsu (義光), Shōwa (昭和, 1926-1989), Gifu – „Yoshimitsu“ (義光), civilian name „Yabushita Fujio“ (藪下不二夫) Quote
Cello Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks Markus, I just found An old posting on the board for the same smith!Was he considered an average smith in his listing? Thank you again Quote
Markus Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Unfortunately I wasn´t able to find a relyable "evaluation" of this Yoshimitsu. But spontaneously and out of lack of much info, I would say he was average to lower ranking. Quote
