Hi, read that the Bishu signature is not as good as the Bizen signature. The difference between long and short signatures will be a kind of " kantei " point. May be the "Bishu osafune..." is a signature that shows malus value? Best Regards

Hi Jason, spending more money in books, as in the blade I think is a sign of anticipation. The search for Magaroku is a long term search... other words, if you find a mumei attributed to him there is no daubt, the mei is not the target. Other words... The way is the target... Isn't it fun to collect nihonto? Best Regards

True words ( as always ) from Arnold. The first CATALOGUE OF 150 EXELLENT SWORDS shows more than 30 shinshinto blades. Darcy said in an older thread the Nbthk gives only , about 4 % juyo attribution to shin shinto blades, almost the big five smiths involved. So if you collect... Grey Doffin sells the NTHK catalogues, I think the first one, translation inclusive for only 80 $. Best Regards
