Michaelr Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 Thank you all in advance. Just picked this up with only a couple pictures of the Hamon, which I really like. Just received it and was surprised, very nice shirasaya, solid silver habaki, signed and dated. Also looks like a Kikumon. Is this correct? Could someone please translate it for me and let me know what they think about the signature also. Again thank you for all you imput and help. MikeR Quote
Geraint Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 Dear Michael. This one appears to be Bizen no kuni Osafune ju Kawachi no Kami Sukesada. Compare here, https://www.toukenkomachi.com/index_en_tachi&katana_A020623.html See what you think, and I am sure others will chime in here, but the kiku is not well cut and is on the wrong side I think. All the best. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 This is the only Sukesada I have on file, but I did a quick scan of a few others from other smith’s and have found some on the same side as this one. I do not know the predominant practice as I did not go through all of the files, but I found at least two others on the same side. Quote
Michaelr Posted May 31 Author Report Posted May 31 Thank you both very much for your help and information. MikeR Quote
Jacques Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 Kikumon is not the right one . https://world-seiyudo.com/product/ka-050121/ Quote
