SweetSixten Posted February 9, 2021 Report Posted February 9, 2021 Hi! I'm new to the forum so please be patient with me! Glad I found it! To my question: A long time ago, 40 years or so, I found a sword in a flee market in Sweden where I live. It is marked on the tang, a suggestion says Kanemoto, but I am not so sure. Please take a look at the picture and see if you can come up with a idea. Quote
SteveM Posted February 10, 2021 Report Posted February 10, 2021 It is a poorly cut "Kanemoto". There are a million smiths who used the name Kanemoto, so maybe one of them signed with this weird style. It looks a bit suspicious to me though. Note that Kanemoto is one of the most commonly forged signatures. As always, the sword is more important than the signature. 1 Quote
SweetSixten Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Posted February 10, 2021 Thank you Steve, for your reply. The sword is not in the best condition, but since I got for about 20 dollars I am happy for it anyway. A funny detail is that the bohi i painted red. The tsuba is very old iron, with fine carvings and small gold fillings. 1 Quote
