riamken Posted April 8, 2019 Report Posted April 8, 2019 I may have the opportunity to purchase this sword. The markings appear to be correct for his "Koyama Munetsugu Sak" signature but I am cautious as I know he had fakers signing his name to things during his lifetime. Everything about the sword indicates that the time period is correct and all of the components that are there are right, just wary of the signature. Anyone have any experience with his work? Or even just more experience with the markings. I found some info online but that was limited. Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted April 8, 2019 Report Posted April 8, 2019 Hello ??? (you need to sign with your real name) We will need better pictures of the blade, especially Hamon and Hada to give you any worthwhile advice. 1 Quote
Brian Posted April 9, 2019 Report Posted April 9, 2019 I would bet 10 to 1 that this is gimei. Nothing there screams Munetsugu and one without papers would likely be a false signature.But of course you have to check it out. Hamon, hada etc. There are FAR more fake signatures out there than real ones though. Quote
Jacques Posted April 9, 2019 Report Posted April 9, 2019 Not that difficult to see if it is gimei or not http://www.e-sword.jp/sale/0810_2060syousai.htm https://www.seiyudo.com/ka-040713.htm http://www.tsuruginoya.com/mn1_3/a00042.html 1 Quote
