Hi Guys,

Assistance with this, which will be for sale, will be appreciated.  Thanks,  Grey

Are we not seeing 濱野随宣 Hamano Yukinori?

Not "宣" (Nobu) Piers?

[Grey Doffin]

Thank you both for the effort but there is neither a Hamano Yukinori nor a Hamano Yukinobu in Robert Haynes' Index.  Might it be something else?

It's definitely 浜野(𡌛)随宣, with a variant of 宣 that isn't part of the MS font set.

宣 has a million readings: nobu, nori, yoshi, yori, etc... but none of these are in Wakayama. So... its either an obscure Hamano smith, or someone faking a Hamano name.

There is a “濱𡌛宣随” (Hamano Nobuyuki) who used at least the same kanji....

Thanks.  I guess I'll go with either Yukinori or Yukinobu.
