Shugyosha Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 Hi Harvey, Welcome to NMB. I’m not seeing the photos very clearly on my phone but I think 石原兼忠 - Ishihara Kanetada. 2 Quote
uwe Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 Hi and welcome Harvey! The pic is indeed out of focus and hard to decipher. My first intention was “両原兼正“ but couldn’t find any reference. So I think I’m wrong… 2 Quote
Shugyosha Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 Hi Uwe, I think I like yours better than mine - other examples of Kanetada I’ve found look different, though they might not be done by the smith. @Roam any chance you could post a clearer picture? 2 Quote

Roam Posted March 12 Author Report Posted March 12 Thanks so much. I’ll take apart and try a better pic later. It does have light surface rust and will take on brighter background. 🙏🏻 Quote
Shugyosha Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 Hi Harvey, I think you’re safe with Nobody San’s reading. Enjoy your blade! Quote
