Splidge Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks for quick response Chris, I was closeish thoug,fancy reading it the wrong way up Quote
David McDonald Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Dear Frank Haynes book lists three Tsunenao H10867.0 - 1850; full sosho kanji very difficult to read H10868.0 - 1800; signed Yano Tsunenao with gold inlay seal H10869.0 - no date; Kyoto; worked in the Nara style of soft metal plate fittings. Most of the Nara school was in Edo -- see Sadanaka H07755 So most likely the third smith?? Good luck david Quote
Splidge Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Posted February 13, 2011 Thank you very much for the info David I dont have the Haynes book so cant look at that info but Hawley's only lists 1 Tsunenao. I will get some photo's done and post the tsuba for comments as soon as I have some time, again many thanks. Frank Quote
