Salvatore Posted Tuesday at 05:17 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 05:17 PM Hello to all! I make this post just for sharing and opinions. Genuine or not, thanks to Ray Singer who informed me about the translation of mei. 2 Quote
Tohagi Posted Tuesday at 05:36 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 05:36 PM Hello Salvatore, What do you wish to know? This is a very straight wakisashi, in not so bad condition, genuine nihonto. Maybe end of muromachie or begining Momoyama kanbun shinto. If you want to know if the meï is good, you will have to do a little research... Difficult to say. Best, Eric 1 1 Quote

Date Tsunamune - Wikipedia This is a first for me, Moriyama San. Thank you! I have a tanto made by the daimyo Date Munetada of Uwajima, so it is interesting for me to discover this background information, an earlier daimyo artist and maker of swords in the wider Date family.

Peter Bleed Posted Wednesday at 06:30 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 06:30 PM Doing nothing more that scanning the images in the old Sendai-han Mei kan, your nakago seems unlike the ones shown. Obviously that makes in suspicious to me. It certainly is interesting and deserves research. Peter 1 1 Quote

Of course about the mei is difficult to know if it is authentic or not. I'm not asking to know something specific, I just collect any info from anyone wants to share his/her knowledge. Quote
