Chris1980 Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 Hello Everyone, This is my sword which came in type 98 mounts and appears to contain a blade from possibly the Koto period. The first character of the Mei is extremely worn, which I believe is either "Fusa-" or "Yasu-" while the second charter is "Mitsu". Am I tracking on these characters? Any guesses? Thank you Chris Quote
Chris1980 Posted January 26 Author Report Posted January 26 Piers, I can see Tada and there are a few listed in Hawley's for that time period - Thank you for your insight! Chris 1 Quote
Bazza Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 (edited) Not TADA?? 忠 TADA does not have a seeming radical to the left?? BaZZa. Edited January 26 by Bazza Comment 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 I tried the kanji drawing tool, and the closest I saw was 保, but it doesn't have that vertical stroke at the top. Any chance an older version of the kanji might have it? Quote
Nobody Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 If it is not 忠 (Tada), it could be 徳 (Toku). 3 2 Quote
