Okan Posted May 16, 2022 Report Posted May 16, 2022 Will appreciate if you can take a look. Thanks a lot! Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted May 18, 2022 Report Posted May 18, 2022 Don't know why no one has helped out with this one, Okan! There are a few oshigata examples on this Japaneseswordindex page, you might try making a collage of them side by side to check. But as a rookie, myself, on mei, I seem to find variations on even recognized legit mei. Hopefully someone skilled at this will help soon. Quote
Okan Posted May 18, 2022 Author Report Posted May 18, 2022 Thank you @Bruce Pennington!! I already did but seems like he never used saku at the end. Quote

If you were looking for the former, you'll need to post actual pictures of the blade itself, as its relatively easy to copy a mei, but its very difficult to copy the exact style of hamon and steel that a smith used. (And even with good close-up photos of the blade, it can be tricky to authenticate over the internet). 1 1 Quote
