SwordGuyJoe Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 I read Nobuyoshi, but I have been wrong (a lot) before. Can someone help me out by verifying and completing the first two and last kanji? Thanks. Quote
Jacques Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Hi, You are wrong, Mei reads Higashiyama (no) ju Yoshihira 東山住美平 Yamashiro Umetada school Quote
takakage Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Hi, the nakago seems to be brand new for a such old sword......... Quote
Clive Sinclaire Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Gentlemen I have been offered this sword today along with a tanto signed Suishinshi Masahide Tsukuru. Both seem very cheap, only a few hundred US dollars each and are offered by a Polish man who I do not know. Both swords are most certainly gimei and the whole thing has a rather high aroma to it. Beware! Clive Quote

SwordGuyJoe Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 Exactly! That is who sent me this photo. After posting for some help - much appreciated by the way - I did a google search on the name and quickly found out he is a con man (or woman). What would I do with out google?!? Quote
Brian Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Oh man...if only someone would just shoot the (organised syndicate) called Pawel Nowak! I'll pay for the bullet. Yes, the most elementary of searches on this forum or the internet, will enlighten anyyone. NO excuses for anyone to be caught by this guy. Brian Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 That is why it is so important for groups like this to exist and hats off and a big thank you to the members and most importantly the moderators of this site. I have learned so much from this group that I can't even begin to show my gratitude effectively and hope I have helped a few people as well (while admittedly mainly in the gunto area and one partial translation). Thanks for helping even when its just telling me when I'm wrong - like above. Quote
