Ray Singer Posted Tuesday at 11:53 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 11:53 PM Any chance of seeing a clearer image? Perhaps Kanehide. Quote

John C Posted Wednesday at 01:27 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 01:27 AM 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 Wednesday at 01:36 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 01:36 AM 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
