Mark Posted November 24, 2016 Report Posted November 24, 2016 i came across a sword that has a surrender tag with unusual "stamped kanji". I think i can read Katsuyoshi, but have not seen tags with anything stamped on them. Is this usual? What does the stamp say? thanks! Quote
SteveM Posted November 24, 2016 Report Posted November 24, 2016 It doesn't seem too unusual. Its just the location that is rubber-stamped. Maybe there were a number of swords collected at that location, and the rubber stamp was the most efficient way of recording them. The name itself looks hand written 竹内勝義 島根縣鹿足群日原村 Takeuchi Katsuyoshi Shimane-ken, Kanoashi-gun, Nichihara-mura Quote
