Stephen Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 If you have seen this please play along so we can see what this is called to. Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Stephen, could you at least post the overall picture of the sword so we can see the sugata? And some measurements would also be very helpful. Quote
Brian Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 If Stephen doesn't mind...I'll add this. Quote
Stephen Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Posted October 25, 2015 good work Brian, good editing/photoshopping Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 I don't know about it now that I can guess age by nakago but I must confess if I saw that blade with tsuka on, I would have probably guessed Hizen and mid-late Edo. So I would have been very wrong. Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Showa or Heisei work by one of the Yasu's. I don't know that work well enough to guess which. Quote
Stephen Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Posted October 25, 2015 give it a few more guesses, it does have torokusho paper Quote
Caleb Mok Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 late Showa...reminds me of a sword i had. Quote
hxv Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 I would guess gendaito, probably Kasama Shigetsugu den. Hoanh Quote
Stephen Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Posted October 25, 2015 answer in military forum but why now play along before you go look. everyone is pretty much on spot with gendaito showa, Maker? Quote
