b.hennick Posted May 23, 2018 Report Posted May 23, 2018 Please look at this tang. Sosho script is difficult. Thanks for your assistance. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 23, 2018 Report Posted May 23, 2018 Step 1. The Mei starts with Yamashiro 山城... Moritake? 山城介盛武...? Quote
mywei Posted May 23, 2018 Report Posted May 23, 2018 nengo appears to be Keio 3 August. Moritake is plausible, but cannot find any record of a Shinshinto smith by that name. Could it also be 友盛 tomomori? Quote
k morita Posted May 23, 2018 Report Posted May 23, 2018 Yes, mei says Moritake. Mei : 山城介盛武 (Yamashiro-no-suke MORITAKE.) Date: 慶應三年八月日 (8th month of Keiō 3 (1867) ) Rikuzen provine.rare sword. 4 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 23, 2018 Report Posted May 23, 2018 This Shinto guy exists in the Meikan, around Kanbun they say, but the Toko Soran is more open regarding date. (OK. Can edit here on my iPhone, but I cannot even read Morita San’s post on the PC, let alone write anything.) Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 23, 2018 Report Posted May 23, 2018 Flickering page, giving up editing above.... Quote

general_piffle Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Barry, do you have any pictures of the sword? Would love to see it if so. Thanks. Quote
b.hennick Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Posted June 8, 2018 Sorry, I do not have pictures of the blade. Quote
