Swords Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Posted October 19, 2022 There’s another sword just like this one on the forum but has a Showa stamp where this one doesn’t hav one ? Did Nōshū jū Kanemasa make both traditional and Arsenal or were some not stamped? Quote

francois2605 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Posted October 19, 2022 Steve, since you're into gendaito, have you considered buying "An Oshigata Book of Modern Swordsmiths 1868-1945" by Slough ? This book would probably answer a lot of your questions, is out of print but there's one currently on sale on the forum: This is the entry for KANEMASA Redirecting to those 2 pages 1 Quote
