loiner1965 Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Posted December 27, 2008 http://www.geocities.com/alchemyst/naga.htm sorry rich i posted the wrong pic....yes it is nagamitsu but i was unsure of the first kanji due to my inexperience....just been reading the above link of the above smith Quote
Brian Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Hi Steve, Yep. With the 2-stroke horizontals on the "naga" kanji, this may be by the Gendai smith Nagamitsu. Are there indications it is a Gendaito? Looks like a nice find if the blade is ok condition. Brian Quote
