Jiro49 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Posted July 8, 2012 Just picked up a blade 24.25", tachi mei Naomune. Also there is a tag near the end of the saya that states Bizen Naomune 3500ryo.. Any info or links for oshigata would be appreciated! Regards, Quote

Grey Doffin Posted July 8, 2012 Report Posted July 8, 2012 Hi Matt, The only Naomune in my index is Fukuoka Ichimonji, and going by the hamon of your sword it can't be that smith. Grey Quote
Jiro49 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks! To me it looks like an eikyo bizen blade..? Ubu and machi-okure. But the tachi mei throws me off. Quote
Jiro49 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Posted July 10, 2012 If anyone can confirm the Japanese info on the bottom sticker I would appreciate it! I think it says 35,000 ryo but the little sticker in english states 3500 ryo..(a little difference) Also If anyone has heard of Ken Hisatoshi? He is the author of the information.. Did they still use ryo for an estimate of value after meiji? Thanks to all! Quote
