simonjbinks Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 Guys, Could anybody help with the Mei on the JPG I will attach. I just can't get it. It's Like Ama, could be Dai, could be Roku or whatever but I'm pretty sure the last Kanji is Hide or Fusa. None of the above fit together. It's so stylised. There are similarities with Suishinshi Masahide. There is a simple Kakihan on the Ura. Sword looks to be Gendai or Shinshinto, but I've seen very little of it in emailed photos. Having trouble attaching the JPG of the Mei, but will try again. Thanks guys. Simon Binks Quote

sensei215 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 Look at John Slough's book "Modern Japanese Sword Smiths " pages 24 -26 there is a lot of info. Tim S Quote
Bruno Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 Yes AMAHIDE but certainly signed by IDETOSHI OR KANEMUNE. 80% of AMAHIDE'swords were not signed by himself. Compare the mei with KANEMUNE and HIDETOSHI's ones to see which one it could be. Quote
