you need to stop guys, I start getting goose bumps,unfortunately,to meet an honest and trustworthy seller of Japanese swords?,today?,is equal difficult as to hit a virgin at age of 30,especially at the first attempt as in my case. I have not also seen this type of file marks before, it looks awesome,when they are well-made!.I could not contact you before guys about my purchase because there was not much time dispensing, USA Sweden is, type, 8 hours difference and I had not much time to expand on the research so I took a chance. Brian, thank you so much, this is more than sufficient for my part, I've already been in contact with Eric and asked him directly to Apology for my behavior, and explained why.Thankful also that there is this kind of forum where nothing goes unseen. "a pair of eyes looking far but the amount of they see the whole World"

thank goodness for that, yet another proof that one can never be wise enough

Hi, thanks for the reply, appreciate all, Yes, it is true, reason I am "here" is simply that this is the first time I have contact with Eric, I do not know him at all and do not know what he is selling, you have to agree that this would have been much doomed, if you are now in my situation, to blindly believe to every person you meet for the first time.if Eric is now a trustworthy guy?, I'm confident that in recent contact with him will I natural way believe his words. Do you know this Eric?, Is he OK?, Then I ask for excuse that I have possibly violated the picture of him in any way, then I "sleep safely".Sorry but there are, unfortunately, so many out there trying to fool people, you have to be extra careful, that's all.

Hi guys, I recently purchased this Katana supposedly to be Traditionally hand forged & water tempered jidai blade,Showa Era.Grateful if someone look over these Kanji and give any translation, equally so over the entire blade,Yasurime(I'm on the right track?),and I promise not to get mad at the outcome, I mean, you can not run and hide from the truth, right?, unfortunate way, I do not have better pictures than what I have received from the seller,this sword is in Transit process, yet,grateful in advance,Miki.

OK George, this was a really deep``, I accept your question more as an Insult rather than a question,Of course this is a Katana from Ishihara Kanetada from which it would be otherwise?, And if all of these images is not enough for you then there are no pastures intention you are "proving" about my credibility. On your response regarding this 2 marking the Nakago, you write to me about how this is:"other record keeping number. Can be found on the scabbard mouth of metal Gunto of shingunto saya on the Nakago shinogi ji of Meiji / Taisho / Showa non-traditional made ​​kyugunto Nakago (and sabers etc) and as you show here, on the mune (less common). They have no importance". See George that you confuse an awful lot of "Grandma and Grandpa".First this is NOT ShinGunto or Sabre or or other type of machine and serial manufactured Katana, Bat Katana made ​​by hand, ​​of Tamahagane Steel. No importance?,It is LOT important to ME because this is my Katana as I look at it no matter the money as a Privilege to own, saying that each dot or dash on my Katana is importance! Regarding the little piece of paper that I found during Fuchi, clearly that it was there to improve the fit between Fuchi and Tsuka, Something that I respond to, you can see just looking at a large photo of know this is a bit of a Book that is also "non-importance", but you can not see on an SO big picture, even Stevie wonder could see, this mark with arrows, Hmm`? You see this piece of paper is over 300 years old, just as my Wakizashi! together makes a part of history that I is the owner and heir!, it is clear that this is the Importance to Me a LOT, if you can not read what is in Kanji on it how can you know that this is not Importance?, and how you know that this is from a book?, it can come just from anywhere, but hey George nobody is perfect, wish a nice day anyway, Regards, Schuki

Thanks for this answer, just hope someone can come up with solution to the rest of the Kanji, of course, here are pictures of Hamon and the blade, this Katana IS manufactured according to the old method, that means no machine madeblade or oil-hardened, this I know already, it's just the 2 arrows that makes me a bit confused, same as the 2 marks on the Nakago no mune. I have another Katana that has three such marks but close Mune machi Instead, what they are I do not know, however, I do not believe either that they were made after many Sake as "ups I screwed up with hammer" but must haf a meaning..

Here is the Muramashi Period Katana Kanji Bongo school

Hello to all of you on the forum from Mr.Schuki, regrets that the wretched color of my text, it would not be sent away, but it went something wrong direction anyway, this will not be repeated. I would like to say thank you, for so long, to you who have given me any answers to my question as to get translated Kanji on Tsuba. I have look at this link which stood in the reply to my Kanenaga but where are the following "Kanenaga (star +Seki stamp)". my is not either Star or Seki stamp is "Clean". Something confuse me in researching his Kanji and this is that: for example, found a much older Katana (Muramachi period) the exact same Kanji, then I'm thinking of "Family lereterad Smith"?. Judging by Nakago then the Showa Period, but no other evidence on the Sword for this, as I said, it is pure from all mark stamps or symbols.I have more interesting items that I have my thoughts over and this is Katana Showa Period of Sword Smith Ishihara Kane Tada but these Swords that I have seen on the Internet has a Seki or Showa stamp on Nakago, where in the mine has none of this, where the I have with the help of a magnifying glass found a small mark made ​​on the hands and this is in the form of two intersecting arrows, Some reflections on this?. Now coming the most interesting, namely, in purchase of my first NIHONTO are Wakizashi of Mushashi No Kami Fujiwara Kanenaka, during Fushi I found a small piece of paper that was wrapped around Fushi, it seemed that this paper bit was old so the fear of not making the break I contacted the Swedish National Museum for help, which they agreed to, and after two months the paper has been in a humid chamber, I got it back "opened" and framed in an acid-free paper. Their conclusion were: paper or woodcut is as old as Wakizashi. As you can see the Kanji, there is a part of the halves in Kanji missing. I will be grateful if anyone out there can find the "red thread" what can possibly be meaningful or perhaps a simple word that they Kanji form, this makes me sleepless guys for over 6 years.as the last Grateful for any translation at them Kanji on a Muramashi Period Katana Bongo school. In Advance Big Thanks to all.

Hello in gene, typical beginner, sorry but I forgot to add a photo of Katana and Tsuba, here it comes, grateful for any help in terms of Kanji equally as authenticity of this, as I mentioned in my "empty" text, I could not figure out "KANENAGA" who? has manufactured this Katana is as I said Mino school Shova Period, extremely grateful for ALL types of clue as to Thoughts on this please, Schuki, the gene.
