Bugyotsuji Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 関住岡田兼義作之 perhaps Seki Ju Okada Kaneyoshi Saku Kore Quote
Grey Doffin Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 This may or may not begin with Noshu and then you have Seki no Ju Okada Kaneyoshi Kore wo Saku. Arsenal stamp above the mei. And Piers beat me to it. Grey 1 Quote
Peter Bleed Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 I missed the arsenal stamp... P Quote
Tobeor Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Posted February 4, 2019 Thank for the translation guys. I thought it was just heavy pitting. The nakago is very dark and rough. I rubbed chalk into the characters. If it is a 20th c blade then someone must have faked the age/patina of the nakago. Quote
SteveM Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Piers nailed it. Its a 20th century sword. Quote
