Civilis Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 I've been trying to decipher the mei on these three swords, I think I got some kanji right but I'm not sure. Can someone correct me and fill in some blanks? Much appreciated. First one is a Wakizashi, very thin blade, I think the first kanji is "Ju", second "Oku", third "Kami", can't figure out the last two... This one is a katana, also thin blade, shortened in a very harsh manor, very bad picture. I have trouble getting a good look on the kanji but I think the third kanji reads "Kami", the last one "Yoshi" maybe? Last sword, a gunto with a small seki stamp. Second kanji looks familar but I really can't make out any of the kanji on this one Hope someone can help a bit.... Quote

Civilis Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Posted March 24, 2013 Wow that's fast, thank you very much. Any ideas on the harsh shortening of the second one? Looks very recent and poorly done, sharp edges. Also the nakago looks to be dripping in oil. Quote
