Itomagoi Posted October 2, 2022 Report Posted October 2, 2022 Can someone please help me with this Sayagaki? 352... Its from a Koa Isshin Mantetsu sword. Quote
Kiipu Posted October 2, 2022 Report Posted October 2, 2022 It looks like a handwritten 満鉄刀 to me. Maybe @SteveM can figure out the last two characters after 23. 三五二号 = Number 352. 満鉄刀23 = Mantetsu-tō 23. 1 Quote
SteveM Posted October 2, 2022 Report Posted October 2, 2022 Looks like 梅守 (Umemori), possibly a family name, but it would be a somewhat unusual name. 1 Quote

Itomagoi Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Posted October 3, 2022 Thanks for your help! Does the red star perhaps indicate a specific gunto shop or generally for the army? Quote

Itomagoi Posted November 5, 2023 Author Report Posted November 5, 2023 Sure, WA 238. Of course Bruce already has this in his files :-) 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted November 5, 2023 Report Posted November 5, 2023 Yes. But I had not been saving koshirae photos, back then. Thanks Thomas! Quote
