Itomagoi Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Hello, can someone help me to translate this Mei on this Kogatana, please? Thank you. Quote
Peter Bleed Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 well, it is clearly a KUNIMASA, but I am not sure which one signed Tachibana, hmm... Look at KUN 438 Peter Quote
Itomagoi Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 Okay Peter, thank you :-) Quote
SteveM Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 法城寺橘国正 Hōjōji Tachibana Kunimasa Some more info http://www.sho-shin.com/edo-hojoji.html Beware of fakes - the sword world is full of them. I believe they are a particular problem with kogatana. Quote
Jean Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 In fact Steve, except for some smiths specialized in kogatana forging, almost all kogatana signatures are fancy ones, don’t even trying to match the original ones, they can rather be considered as « hommage » Quote
