Sword Mei Help

[nihonto1001]

Greetings Earthlings:

 

It has been a while since I posted here.

 

I am trying to help a fellow collector with his favorite sword. It looks like Kanemasa 包方 to me, or maybe some unusual form of Kane-Yuki.  I cannot find reference to either.  Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

JH

JH,

the photo is slightly out of focus. If you want to post a better one, please use a dark background for better contrast.

I also read KANE for the first KANJI, but the second is not clear. It could be NAGA or HIDE or something else.

Please sign all posts with your first name so we can address you politely. It is a rule on NMB.

Maybe 包守(Kanemori)?

Yumso,  that seems to be the majority opinion.  Thanks.

Good to see you again Jon. Hope things are well.

Hi Brian:

 

Good to communicate with you again.  I can't complain.  I have been trying to approach things with a new perspective.  Hopefully, all is well with you too.  

 

I will be posting more in the near future.

The second character leaves a strange 永 feeling…🤔

Hi…、

It might be written in this way.
