I'm back I recently posted a request for assistance with a character in a date which soon was sorted out, now I have another request as I am unable to find any information on this smith, I have come to the conclusion that it is not Hosokawa Masamori as the character for Mori is different. I have checked on line to no avail, and so I am hoping someone in this group can help. Many thanks Ian
