Prewar70 Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 Kunishige? It is a nicely forged Wakizashi with a very distinct hamon. Of course I’m wondering if anybody is familiar with the Smith and school and any information you could provide or direction to point me in thank you. Quote
nulldevice Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 Looks like Yamashiro no Kuni ju Minamoto Kunishige 2 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted July 14 Report Posted July 14 Was this mounted in WWII fittings, or with a leather cover? The hash marks are normally seen on WWII gunto, and will match stamped numbers on the rest of the fittings. Yours is a bit unusual as it looks like "5 4 10". Quote
Prewar70 Posted July 14 Author Report Posted July 14 Hi Bruce, I believe the mounts are Kyu Gunto maybe type 19. Very basic 1 Quote
