raaay Posted June 25, 2007 Report Posted June 25, 2007 hi all NHB any thoughts from the hizen collectors please on this wakizashi blade. only one i can find with the same MEI with the limited books i have on this smith ? is working around circa 1596 ?? mei . HIZEN NO KUNI MUNETSUGU . boshi . kaeri fukai nagsa . 370mm motohaba. 35mm sakihaba. 25mm tsurkomi . u no kubi zukri mune . iori muni nakago . kurijiri yasurime . kiri sori . saki sori hamon . sugha hada . konuka hada ! the hada is very tight and fine and allthough the polish is in a good state very difficult to make a postive call on the hada. thanks. ray Quote
bdgrange Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 pg 170 Roger Robertshaw's book has an oshigata. The center strike in the box of Mune is done the oposite direction than yours. Appears left to right. FYI Bill Delagrange Quote
