Cuirassier Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 Hi guys - help! This one has me bugged. So, I am sure it is "No Shu Ju (something) (something) Nagamitsu". I am sure it is not Ichihara (as that is the well known Nagamitsu) This is a war time gunto but no Seki stamp. I am sure the forth character is NOT "shu" as it is distinctly different from the second character which is shu. Aaaaaarrggggghhhh Any takers? Cheers Mark PS Sorry about the quality of the photos, I am away from home right now and have a b awful camera. Quote

Cuirassier Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks Stephen Very little info about this maker, though two of his gunto / tachi sold on eBay for just under $2K each (according to a Japanese reference site) and tyhe fact it seems he did not even sign the blades himself; http://japaneseswordindex.com/promei.htm Quote
