DRICKS Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 Hello, Im starting to collect Japanese swords and no very little about them. I have searched on sites to try and read the signature but the characters are so similar I cant tell. I think the one mark is for Showa. Im not trying to get this information to sell the sword but to find out about the sword-smith or if it is a factory blade. Any help in reading the signature would be greatly appreciated. I hope the pictures are good enough. Thank you D. Ricks Quote

Rich S Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 The pics are a bit dark and fuzzy to read accurately, but I think (?) it may read: Noshu Seki Fujiwara Kanehiro saku kore' Definitely a Showa period blade/smith. Hopefully others will correct my errors and give a more confident reading. Rich S Quote
