Shugyosha Posted December 13, 2020 Report Posted December 13, 2020 The blade has a Seki armoury stamp, the smith’s name is Sadahide and the date is Showa 17 - 1943. 1 Quote

Nobody Posted December 14, 2020 Report Posted December 14, 2020 The mei looks like 貞勝 - Sadakatsu. And Showa 17 is 1942. 3 2 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted December 14, 2020 Report Posted December 14, 2020 And there was no Seki armory. The Seki sword guild made swords for both the Tokyo first arsenal and the Nagoya army arsenal. It mostly means that the blade was not made in the traditional way. 1 Quote
