Babu Posted October 2, 2020 Report Posted October 2, 2020 Hi I'm looking for examples of this smiths first and second generation mei. I've looked on the net found a couple of similar ones and one papered but I'm unable to see the mei on that one. Could you scour your books to see if you have this smiths mei from either generation either signing yamashiro or hieanjo? My sword is the soot oshigata Thank you Adam Quote
dkirkpatrick Posted October 2, 2020 Report Posted October 2, 2020 Looks to me like the oshigata you posted is pretty damn close, maybe a different point in his career. Although a different Kuni and what not to me it feels like done by same hand. Doug Quote
Babu Posted October 3, 2020 Author Report Posted October 3, 2020 Yes but I'm asking for confirmation from books that might have this smiths mei. none of the above are papered as far as I know. Quote
Fake Babu Account Posted October 4, 2020 Report Posted October 4, 2020 The mei you show on all cases are shoshin to that smith but at slightly different times in his career . Eddy Quote
