rdarnell67 Posted November 20 Author Report Posted November 20 Thank you Ray, but that search did not offer me much insight. I did see one of the links showed a couple similar symbols to the last two on my sword, but it seems no one really offered any answers on that either. Richard Quote
mecox Posted November 21 Report Posted November 21 @rdarnell67 Richard, I think this mei is: Seki Zenjo Ogawa Kanekuni (関善定小川兼國) of Ogawa Sentaro Kanekuni. In NMB Downloads is a paper on his and connections: 2 Quote
rdarnell67 Posted November 21 Author Report Posted November 21 Mecox, I think you are correct. It looks identical to the Mei on page 12. Thank you! I will do some more research with that info. Richard Quote
