Sabotage Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 Anyone have any information on Minamoto Kunitsuna? I inherited this sword (and another with a different smith) and was told that's what the mei translated as, but I've not been able to find anything about him. Only other mention of someone with that name was Sagami no kami Minamoto Kunitsuna in a sword smith listing; no photos or pictures of signatures, so I can't compare. Any ideas on who/when/where this blade might be from? Someday (when I'm rich and famous) I'd like to get it restored, but for now I'll settle for learning about it. I know, it's not in the greatest condition, sorry. Quote
Grey Doffin Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 Hi Melissa, The signature reads, "Enju Minamoto Kunitsuna". None of the references in my index include him. Hawley's has him in Higo in 1830. Grey Quote
