Help with sword

[Mark C]

Hi All,

 

I have just purchased this sword. It was as shinny as a mirror and after an hour with some finger stones I have reveiled a lovely hamon in nie.

 

In fact I will be putting this baby in the safe for a polish sometime in the future, Some details below:

 

Nagasa=21 3/8"

Width at habaki=1 1/4"

Thickness at habaki=5/16"

Width at yokote=7/8"

Thickness at yokote=3/16"

Sori=7/16"

 

The Tang is signed "Fujiwara Moriyuki", I think

 

It is quite a heavy little beast :D

 

In my limited library I can't find a comparison Mei, Does any have a comparison so that I can see if the mei is somewhere near right or way off

 

Many thanks

 

Regards

 

Mark

Hi Peter,

 

Thanks for that, I can't find to much info on Bungo Takada Fujiwara Moriyuki.
