Jamie Posted April 6, 2010 Report Posted April 6, 2010 This Tang is of a Tanto. Supposedly it's a Masahide from 1812 I am curious if you guys think it's genuine or Gimei. Quote
leo Posted April 6, 2010 Report Posted April 6, 2010 Hi, this view is better for reading the mei. If you simply google SUISHINSHI MASAHIDE, you will find plenty of genuine mei samples which will show you the difference between this mei and the real ones. Date and filemarks match, though.

Jamie Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Posted April 6, 2010 Yeah. it looks close-But I'm still unsure. I looked at a Koza- but again going by just memory from the book, I can't tell. Quote
leo Posted April 7, 2010 Report Posted April 7, 2010 Dear Jamie, I wanted you to check on the genuine signatures to find out by yourself whether it is gimei or not, but apparently you misunderstood. The first kanji already shows the significant difference. Off course Brian is right, there is no chance it is a genuine Suishinshi Masahide. Greetings, Martin Quote
