wreddekopp Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 This katana appears to be quite old. I'd appreciate any help . . . Quote
Jean Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 I would say not so old ... taking into consideration Yasurime which are very visible and for the least crude. Quote
Ray Singer Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Looks like Seki ju Ishihara Yoshimune Saku. And as Jean said, not very old. A Showa period blade. Quote
Ted Tenold Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 It's older than many of us, but not old for a Japanese sword. World War II era. Seki ju Ishihara Yoshisada saku. You'll find an oshigata of this maker at http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/index.htm . Quote
Jean Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Wayne, It looked like a 2nd world war blade, though I don't know anything about this sword area, I have seen enough blades on this Forum to notice the following tell tales about this kind of swords: - Crude yasurime - Way the mei is chiselled Quote
