Barry Charman Posted October 11, 2020 Report Posted October 11, 2020 Thought I'd share my recent acquisition with you. Signature is fairly certain to be gimei. Also not sure of tsuba signature. 2 Quote
Geraint Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 Hi Barry. Welcome to NMB! I can't make out the first kanji on the tsuba but the second is kyu or hisa. What do you understand the signature on the sword to say and why do you think it is probably gimei? What are the rest of the fittings like? All the best. Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 Unfortunately I cannot see the tsuba signature very well but my best guess from that picture might be Kiyohisa - 清久 1 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted October 18, 2020 Report Posted October 18, 2020 Welcome, Barry. Try rubbing a little corn starch or talcum powder into the mei, & see if you can get a better photo. Quote
