robinalexander Posted June 13, 2022 Report Posted June 13, 2022 Hello all, this just looks strange to me. One kanji and in my limited experience a unusual location on the nakago to put it. Thank you. Rob Quote
Shugyosha Posted June 13, 2022 Report Posted June 13, 2022 Hi Robin, I can see two kanji there, maybe Yasunori (靖憲)? There's a couple listed here working in Showa, but the patina on the tang might suggest an older blade. https://nihontoclub.com/view/smiths?page=17&order=title&sort=desc 2 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted June 13, 2022 Report Posted June 13, 2022 One of the Yasukuni Shrine smiths IMO, the Habaki looks to be the classic copper type commonly used. There should be a date present on the other side if it is a Yasukuni-To. 1 1 Quote
