Book / Catalogue Reference Name please.

[Michael Cox]

Hi all, Long time no speak. I wonder if you can help me find a Book / Reference piece please.

I think it is from: 1898 to 1942? And has smiths and blade Reference photo's and makers names also.

I think it's all in Japanese so no English version to my knowledge.

I have only seen the softback version of this book? I would very much like to get a copy new or old.

Have you ever seen such a book?

 

Again thanks for any help that you can give me. Mick

P.S. I've also just found a sword in my collection that I bought unsigned at the time. About ten years ago! And just the other day in the bright sunlight clear as day a signature on the tang showed up.

 

So I will look it out again and take some photo's for you. And maybe you can give me some information on it?

 

Thanks again, Mick.

I forgot to say that the sword is:

 

A short sword: Wakizashi / Chisa Katana.

Blade is: 54cm / 21.25 inches

In: Military Mount's = WWII

With a: Hi

 

I will dig it out later on today if I can find it again?

 

Thanks, Mick.
