Maunderbeak Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 I have owned this sword for many years, having bought it at an auction, but know very little about it. Any information would be gratefully received. Keith Maunder Quote
Stephen Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 Very interesting sword, really like the non gunto tsuba on the gunto mounts. Perhaps a closer shot of the mei. ....maybe Masamichi?? id liked like to see it closer. Very collectable for the Military crowd. Quote
Toryu2020 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 Great tsuba! A sake cup and gourd - I wonder if that is an in-theatre retrofit, a man after my own heart... -t Quote
george trotter Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 Very hard to read...could it be WATANABE MASANOBU...? There was a WWII Seki swordsmith of that name. George. Quote
Maunderbeak Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Posted July 30, 2010 Stephen C, is this what you need? Keith Quote
Maunderbeak Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Posted July 30, 2010 What is odd about the Yasurime? You must understand, I am a complete novice at this. Keith Quote
