nihonto1001 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 I recently found this mounted in Marine Landing Koshirae. I am getting Kanemune for the mei. Would this be correct? Not sure of the date. Any help would be appreciated. This one is going to eBay. Quote
Kai-Gunto Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 I think You got a army type 3 ,late war. Kanemune ,1944, march. Gifu province, civilian name , Fukumoto Koichi ,born oct 14 th. 1902 ,died march 8th 1977. adopted son-in-law ,Fukumoto Amahide. Quote
nihonto1001 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Posted September 22, 2014 Hi Thomas: Army Type 3. How can you tell? This smith mainly made Army type 3 swords? I have always considered this type of koshirae as Marine Landing. Thanks for your knowledge. Quote
nihonto1001 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Posted September 22, 2014 Nice website, by the way, Thomas. Quote
Kai-Gunto Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks. In some period photos they where used by the army. Quote
k morita Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Jon, This sword mei is not Kanemune. The mei looks like Yoshinaga 義 永 Quote
nihonto1001 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Posted September 23, 2014 Mr. Morita: Thank you. I never would have thought Yoshinaga. I have difficulty with the sometimes abstract kanji of this era. Quote
