Bruce Pennington Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 I filed this long ago without recording the smith. Could I get help with the name, please. It's mounted in Type 98 fittings. John, @PNSSHOGUN just found a Yoshisuke kiaigunto with the warrior stamp. If the mei are different, then the stamp must be tied to a forge/shop. Thanks!

Bruce Pennington Posted September 15 Author Report Share Posted September 15 And just to save some time, the other one is posted on a Japanese site as "Yoshisuke". Is this correct? Or could they be the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 濃州関住人吉近作 Nōshū Seki jūnin Yoshichika saku Smith's name is Yoshichika. This second one is correct: Yoshisuke (saku) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pennington Posted September 16 Author Report Share Posted September 16 Thank you Steve! Well, unless they’re the same guy, that pretty much sets the stamp as a group or factory or forge logo. it’s interesting that they are both “Yoshi’s”. Any thoughts @george trotter?

george trotter Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Hi Bruce, These are signed to/by different smiths (Yoshi kanji are different and Chika and Suke of course are also different). I think probably made in/by same workshop/sword company. Tang shape and file marks seem the same. Regards, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Buried some wher in NMB is a post on the horsehead stamp. Or was it a JSS/US article sorry for the lack of memory but there's something out there on it. Edit so this where you got the nakago...sorry this is what i was thinking about. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
