ZoomZ Posted June 17, 2021 Report Posted June 17, 2021 I dont know what any of this writing means . Can someone identify this writing and is it truly old . Its being sold as "Kanekura" old family . Thanks Russ Quote
SteveM Posted June 17, 2021 Report Posted June 17, 2021 The writing says 大和守藤原兼蔵 Yamato-no-kami Fujiwara Kanekura In English, it is the swordsmith's name and title "Lord of Yamato Province, Fujiwara Kanekura". "Lord" or "Governor" is an honorific title. It doesn't have any political meaning. No idea if the signature is authentic or a forgery. There are many forgeries around, so its better to look at the sword in detail to see if it looks like a sword from the past. Quote
