Help With Qualifying Info On Nbthk Paper For Kunishige Tanto

[BillT]

Hi all

I am hoping someone can assist with the comments in brackets under the Kunishige mei in the third column on the attached paper from NBTHK.  I generally puzzle my way through mei and the standard information sections on NTHK and NBTHK kanteisho, but this particular set of kanji have eluded me.

 

I have attached the paper and some pics of the nakago etc to put the comments in context.  Sorry about the amateurish standard of photography). Any help would be appreciated.

In the brackets it reads (Kuni Fumei Jidai Muromachi Makki) Province unknown period end of the Muromachi.

 

I think you did well with this purchase as it was well priced and papered. I think that is a good affordable addition to your collection, it was priced so nicely I almost went for it few times. :D

Thanks Jussi.  I appreciate the quick and knowledgeable assistance.

 

I am glad you left it - I normally prefer blades with koshirae, but this was too tempting.
