David Flynn Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Hi, would anyone have any info on a Gendai smith Kanetsune. The sword I have is signed: Noshu Ju Nin Nishi Mura Kanetsune Kitau Kore. The only listing I could find was in Hawleys which says: Kanetsune 1926. Thanks David Quote
David Flynn Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Posted September 15, 2006 I put this sword in the NY shinsa and it scored 75points. But still can't find anything about him David Quote
