Beater Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Hi there, Back in August 2023 I posted my Nagamitsu with rare long mei and dated. Thought I’d show this, my latest find, which complements the earlier one but has an abbreviated mei and is in Rinji Seishiki mounts. Hope you enjoy. Regards, Kevin. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never come across one to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Thomas, No stamps / numbers of any kind, including on the nakago mune . There is, however, a tiny Saka stamp on the neck of the saya’s haikan. I was unsure what the stamp was until I saw a recent photo in a thread by Deborah Nakamoto, showing the same stamp in same location on her ( Nagamitsu) sword, which sent me back for a second look at my own. Only then did I see it and made Bruce Pennington aware. Regards, Kevin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pennington Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 I have always enjoyed that style RS with the dark brown lacquer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep44 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 I also have a Nagamitsu blade in RS mounts. It is in storage at the moment, but I do have a few photos of it: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pic from Nagamitsu or Emura is a big mystery... many would like to have incl. me :-) Attached some pics from my Nagamitsu 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
