Kam Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Ok so it's taken me a couple of days to get back with a pic of the Emura nakago. First attempt at loading pics so forgive me if I stuff it up. Kam Quote
Kam Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Follow up info and pics- The official explanation for the pink slip was due to the yasurime and nakagojiri, funny thing is this style of nakagojiri seems to be common on emura blades. They had no thoughts on who made it either saying made by another modern smith. I have no real thoughts on the matter so I can see both sides of the coin as to the legitimacy of the mei (which interestingly was not mentioned on the pink slip) . I have added a couple of pics of the blade to give an overall idea. Kam Quote
cabowen Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Looks an awful lot like example B in Dr. Stein's site....nakago age looks right....Another head scratcher.... Quote
