ottou812 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 The seller states "SAGAMI NO KAMI YOSHIMICHI YAMASHIRO". The Yoshimichi mei I translated matched Grey Doffin's JSSUS compilation of smiths, 義道 for Yoshimichi. I tried cross-referencing Yoshimichi in 1981 ed. of Hawleys and couldn't find a match. Can anyone translate the complete mei? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =146217078 It's not my auction. Maybe this post should have been in the translation assistance thread. Quote
Stephen Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 James that auction has been around for years...+.... think there was some questions about where all the swords came from...maybe search here for Col Hartley Quote
ottou812 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Posted November 13, 2009 Found only a few posts and only goes back to 2008. Maybe the older posts were on the old messages board before the move to here. I'm more interested in the translation than the actual sword itself. Quote
Grey Doffin Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 The mei reads, "Sagami no Kami Yoshimichi". Grey Quote

Brian Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 As Stephen said, most of those auctions have been up for ages, and when you ask the reserve, you will know why. Brian Quote
