bubba-san Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 Hello folks, I just picked this up at local sword show . I tried translating it myself . It seems to be Ichi hare nagamitsu ? it seems there are several smiths using that name . The sword seems to be tradionally made . I am not too good at translating , I try my best . here are some pics . anything on smith would be much appreciated Thank you ............... James Quote
cisco-san Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 Hi, almost right - Mei reads Nagamitsu saku see below from J.S. Slough´s book edit: Typo Quote
bubba-san Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Posted October 7, 2013 Klaus , Thank you so much for information , It was very helpfull . The blade is in fine shape no breaks , kizu, cracks and the like . It is still in great polish but, has some surface rust . The hamon is choji / midare and is quite bright . It just needs a kaji toji to knock off surface rust and brighten up the Hamon a little more again thank you for your help . James ........... Bubba-san Forge Quote
