sbf Posted October 18, 2021 Report Posted October 18, 2021 Hi, This sword came from an estate sale (retired Admiral USN) many years ago. I researched it a bit, read the signature as Omi (no) Kami Fujiwara Tsuguhira. I see there are several generations, does anyone have any idea which one this is? Steve 2 Quote
Volker62 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Posted October 18, 2021 looks like a nice sword, congrats! I also own a beautiful Tsuguhira Katana shodai The end of the Nakago looks "Iriyamagata" shape,which is typical for the first generation, fujishiro ranked him Jo saku, Hawley 60 points, sharpness "wazamono" student of Sandai Echizen Yasutsugu Kanbun to Enpo periode 1661-1673 1 Quote
Volker62 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Posted October 18, 2021 Steve great find! very thick tsuba, '94 pattern shin gunto, is the Kabuto Gane pinned ? Perhaps you can send some close up pictures from blade and koshirae? 1 Quote
Bazza Posted October 19, 2021 Report Posted October 19, 2021 I see it has the THICK Shinguntou tsuba, which no doubt somebody can comment further on. BaZZa. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted October 19, 2021 Report Posted October 19, 2021 Looks very much like a classic Type 94 mount minus 2nd Haikan, big pierced Tsuba, centered release button and gloss Saya. Very nice sword & mounts. Quote
sbf Posted October 19, 2021 Author Report Posted October 19, 2021 Thanks for the replies. A few more pics. Steve Quote
sbf Posted October 19, 2021 Author Report Posted October 19, 2021 More, blade pics are tough, at least for my limited technological skills. Steve Quote
