助高 Suketaka sword smith.


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

 

I recently acquired a shortened katana signed 助高.

Since there are only two smiths listed which mei that start with suke and taka, would make him Hawley SUK522 or SUK512.

 

Does anyone have any information on this smith? Any and all responses are highly appreciated.
