John C Posted September 24 Report Posted September 24 1 hour ago, Swords said: Sorry it didn’t go through Hmmm. Not sure about that signature. He generally did not sign with just "Kanehide". In addition, his signatures were usually well struck and deeper than that example. Also, the way he generally formed "hide" is different. The closest I have to your example is the Sep 1944 example (see pic). But in swords, never say never. I only have about 20 examples of his signature, so other styles may be out there. John C. Quote
John C Posted September 24 Report Posted September 24 Steve: Other things to look for would be the star stamp (he was a decent RJT), and he usually used aqua-green or blue assembly number paint. Sometimes western numbers on one side and Japanese numbers on the other. John C. Quote
