cjbow320 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 I had recently found this at an estate sale and was hoping someone could help me with the translation. The tang is very rusty and it appears to have some age, while the blade was in old WW2 mounts. The pictures are the best I could do and because the tang ws so rusty I wet the tang a bit and put some powder on to enhance the mei. I think this might read Yasu or Yoshi(partial becase of rust) second character I have no clue and the last is Kore. Thanks for all help, Chris Quote
Nobody Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 My guess is 正泰鍛之 (Masayasu forged this.). Ref. http://www.aoi-art.com/iai/12131.html , though this might not be your X-yasu. Quote
