Pika007 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 A friend recently got a sword from a family, the mei is as you see. Translation assistance would be much appreciated It doesn't look very old, but might have been cleaned. Maybe older shinsaku or very very late shinshinto, i think Quote

Logan09 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Looks to me like a wire wheel was used. Quote
Pika007 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Report Posted March 11, 2019 Confirmed to have been aggressively cleaned. What a pity. Quote
Surfson Posted March 12, 2019 Report Posted March 12, 2019 Study the mei. If it is good, you can have the tang repatinated. Quote
