cabowen Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Nope, as I said, it is not a gendaito... Quote
1tallsword Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 I want to say soshu hiromitsu but lets try akihiro Quote
Derek Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Hmmm, gonna go: bizen tradition.... Shinshinto... Koyama.... Koyama Munetsugu? Quote
seattle1 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Hello: Well, Chinese would be a big surprise, a lesser surprise would be Chikuzen Ishido, ie, Koretsugu or Moritsugu. Arnold F. 1 Quote
Mark Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 I agree with Arnold, looks like a Shinto, or Shinshinto, copy of Fukuoka Ichimonji Quote
Stephen Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Playing hangman with granddaughter a lot leads me ask for another clue. Quote
cabowen Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Not Shin-to.......Keep them coming..... Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 I'll second Stephen any chance for additional pics? Quote
cabowen Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Not Shin-to was a hint! I do not have any other photos.... Another hint: Jeremy was closest.... Quote
Peter Bleed Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 I think Jermy is right. Akihiro Peter Quote
cabowen Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Jeremy was closest but not correct.... Quote
cabowen Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Getting closer but no.... Quote
Mark Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 with the clue, maybe Tsunahiro or Fusamune Quote
cabowen Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Period is close, Den is correct, group is wrong...location is going the wrong way from Shimada.... Quote
Loki Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 At work so no access to text books, so definitely a last attempt, going for :::cue drum roll::: Wakasa Fuyuhiro Quote
cabowen Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Nope....I will give the answer tonight... Quote
nihonto1001 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 I was actually thinking shinsakuto. Apparently, Yoshindo is considered gendaito by definition. The consensus seems to be Shin Shinto, so I will take one more stab at it, Yokoyama Sukenaga. His father, Sukehira trained in the Soshu tradition. Quote
Andrew Ickeringill Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 You guys should be looking more towards... Ise Quote
Mark Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 ok, one last stab at it. Muramasa, hard to kantei seeing just one side of the balde Quote
cabowen Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Posted February 12, 2015 We have winner! Muramasa, signed, NBTHK papers.... Very unusual work for his group. The hamon at first blush appears to be a large, Ishido school choji, similar to that also often made by Ono Yoshimitsu, but close inspection shows that the hamon is more a midare-notare with the choji like elements actually in the ji forming a hitatsura more like Akihiro or Hiromitsu. Interesting blade. I hope this was of interest.... 1 Quote
Peter Bleed Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Thnx Chris, you're the Man! The hamon above the shinogi in the monouchi looked like an Akihiro wannabe full temper. Peter Quote
