Logan09 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 Looking for help on the translation on these two swords. Both were in gunto mounts(what is left of them) Thanks in advance. Quote
Surfson Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 First one is old samurai: Yamato Kuni Nanto Ju Fujiwara Masa Tsugu Second one is modern WWII Masahiro At least those are my best guesses Quote
Logan09 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks for the replies, any way to date the first one? Thanks Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 The first should have a date on the other side of the Nakago. Quote
Ray Singer Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 The first is purporting to be a Kanabo blade (I believe) and may not be dated. While I do not see that exact mei, an authentic Kanabo Kasatsugu would be Muromachi. https://nihontoclub.com/view/smiths/meisearch?type=All&mei_op=contains&mei=%E6%94%BF%E6%AC%A1 Gordon Robson is generally the person I would think to ask about Kanabo. https://www.nihonto.com/kanabo-masatsugu-%E9%87%91%E6%88%BF%E6%94%BF%E6%AC%A1/ Quote
Logan09 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Posted February 1, 2019 Thank you! There is no date on the other side(it is blank) Quote
