tbonesullivan Posted June 7, 2022 Report Posted June 7, 2022 Got this in a month or two ago, and its tied onto the hanger ring of a Type 98 Shin-Gunto by KOJIMA KANENORI. As far as I can tell the first three characters are 大巳正, but the last character is too complex for me. I'm not sure whether it's a name, or a location. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote
SteveM Posted June 7, 2022 Report Posted June 7, 2022 大巳正晴 Its a name. Ōmi Masaharu. (could also be read as Daimi Masaharu). Its a super rare name in Japan. According to this site there are only 10 people in Japan with this last name. https://myoji-yurai.net/searchResult.htm?myojiKanji=大巳 1 Quote
tbonesullivan Posted June 7, 2022 Author Report Posted June 7, 2022 Thanks!!! It definitely looks to be period. Definitely some research potential I guess. It's a pretty nice sword, has an officer tassel, though we all know those mean very little considering it takes 5 seconds transfer one to another sword. Quote
