Veli Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 Maybe Noshu ju Asai Toshihide Saku 濃州住浅井敏秀作 Others will correct if I am wrong, I am not good at showa mei. If correct, this is a Showa period smith working in Seki around WWII. Veli Quote

If correct, this is a Showa period smith working in Seki around WWII. Veli You are right ! From Markus book: Toshihide (俊秀), Shōwa (昭和, 1926-1989), Gifu – „Toshihide“ (俊秀), family name „Asai“ (浅井), rikugun-jumei-tōshō Quote
Veli Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 Actually Markus's book lists this smith signing with a different "Toshi" kanji 俊 whereas on Jinsoo Kim's site http://www.jp-sword.com/files/seki/gendaito.html he is listed using 敏. Obviously the same smith, however. Veli Quote

Veli Posted July 9, 2014 Report Posted July 9, 2014 You found another mei example, great! Is there a Seki stamp in the picture? Not a Gendaito, then... Veli Quote
