Nobody Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 That Tadatsuna must be the 1st generation. 4 Quote
Wim V Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 Maybe 小尻刃上り栗形 (ko-jiri ha agari kuri-gata) ? I would expect to see something like 茎尻刃上り栗尻 (nakago-jiri ha agari kuri-jiri) Quote
uwe Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 Different writing of “万治” / “萬治”, Manji era? Quote
uwe Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 I thought without thinking that MOTO NEN seems amiss??? BaZZa. “元” means in this case something like “beginning”... Quote
Jacques Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Posted January 21, 2020 Ok not a bunch of answers as i expected. Congratulations to Moriyama san who got it. Effectively this sword is by the shodai Tadatsuna and not by the nidai as stated. We can show it with datation as there is no dated swords by the nidai before Kanbun 12. Way of engraving (specially ji mi 江 and ji Tada 忠) leans also to the shodai Below a nidai TAdatsuna mei and how to recognize shodai and nidai. 6 Quote
