katonk66 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Hello all. I received a Shinto period blade from Japan with the copies of the registration and export papers. I was having a tough time taking pictures of the nihontou, so this is a a hybrid of my photos and the sellers. The koshirae is all modern. The blade is fairly clean. I'm not sure if this is the actual mei or gimei. IN THEORY, it is written as: "MUSASHI NO KAMI FUJIWARA TOMOTSUNE 武蔵守藤原友常". If it indeed a true mei, it should date to Kambun (1661-1673) in Mino Province. This is from my limited search. Nagasa:62.9cm/ 24.76 inches Sori:1.2cm / 0.47 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
