Prewar70 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Posted May 19, 2016 Looks simple enough, but I'm at a loss. Thanks. Quote
John A Stuart Posted May 19, 2016 Report Posted May 19, 2016 A little fuzzy, maybe 利光 Toshimitsu. John Quote
Prewar70 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Posted May 19, 2016 That looks right on John thank you. The mitsu looked more like a Z to me, like Moto shape . I will do some googling but if anyone is familiar with this artist or school please share. Quote
Prewar70 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Posted May 20, 2016 Don't want to beat a dead horse if nobody has any information on this smith. I did not find much to go off of using Toshimitsu. The fittings are good quality and the signature is nice, so hoping to find out more. Thanks. Quote
SteveM Posted May 20, 2016 Report Posted May 20, 2016 Hello, In Wakayama's reference of artists, there are ten artists who used these particular kanji for Toshimitsu. Unfortunately it doesn't give pictures of each smith's signature, so it would be a bit hard to pin down exactly which Toshimitsu this is (or if it is genuine at all) without sending it to shinsa, I think.

Prewar70 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks for the help Steve. If I get a chance I'll post some pics of the set Quote
