Jim Manley Posted December 26, 2020 Report Posted December 26, 2020 Can I ask for a bit of help with this mei, please? I think I have the date at Showa 17, 1942. I am struggling with the very faint and sloppy smith's mei. I'm guessing yuki or yoshi masa? It doesn't have any stamps. Jim Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted December 26, 2020 Report Posted December 26, 2020 Looks to me like Showa 19, so 1944. 1 Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 Jim, i’m usually wrong on the Sword Smith names, but here’s what I think: 正道 (Masamichi) We will see who it really is when the real translator show up! Quote
uwe Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 To go a bit further, “尾州住正 ? “ (Bishū jū Masa ? , Bishū = Owari). I’m still struggling with the last kanji. Can take it’s time... ...”康”?? Quote
