Yoshinobu, Student Of Tadayoshi?

[zentsuji2]

Hi my freinds.

Been looking at a yoshinobu,

I have no word on him in sloughs, can anyone shed light on his work.

Was he tadayoshis student,and has anyone examined his workmanship,his history,place of work etc.

I hope you can help,any one held one owned one.

Any help appreciated, it's in type 98 mounts,26.5"nagasa,pleasing sugata, sori,choji hamon.

Hope everyone is ok,and thanks for the hard work of Brian, to upgrade.

Best regards to all.

Firstly, which kanji for Yoshinobu. Secondly, how do you know it is a Gendaito and not earlier remounted for war?

Thanks big and Brian,I hopefully will get to handle the sword next week.

I believe it to be seki yoshinobu?

The tang is hidden, it's best for me to have a look,

It referred to him having a good teacher, but I believe there are a few yoshinobu, in ww2.

Thanks for your help, and for looking.

Glad you made the effort on the board Brian,thanks for going through the technical pain,to give us this site.
