b.hennick Posted October 18, 2020 Report Posted October 18, 2020 I think that the blade was made by Murakami Masatada. Quote
uwe Posted October 18, 2020 Report Posted October 18, 2020 Your translation is right Barry! Ura might read “需應佐ポ重輔”...?! Quote
b.hennick Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Posted October 18, 2020 What does it read in English? Quote
kyushukairu Posted October 18, 2020 Report Posted October 18, 2020 I think the ura may read 'to meet the request of Sasaki Shigesuke' (需應佐々木重輔 ) 1 1 Quote
uwe Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 The iteration mark was misleading me...thanks Kyle! Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 Barry, what do you have there?! Is that an old blade/tsuka re-fitted as a navy dirk? I've seen old blades re-fitted before as dirks but never with the original tsuka/tsuba. Quote
