Hello Bruce, As indicated to me, I concur. In Civil Montage. Jose.

Hello Mal, Thank you very much. Jose.

Hello John , Thanks for your help. There is no mark above the signature. I too thought it might carry arsenal mark but it does not. Please John, can you confirm translation of signature on the tang, ¿FUKUMOTO KANEMUNE?. Jose.

Greetings to all. I bought this katana. Showato. WWII period but I have no data on this swordsmith. The seller indicates that it is FUKUMOTO KANEMUNE and the material tamahagane. I think there is hamon line but I can't see it well. On one side of the tang is the signature. There is a marking on the other side of the tang. I think the mark is an inspection check, but I'm not sure. If anyone can give me details of the craftsman and the mark I would appreciat Thank you for your help. A greeting. Jose.

Thanks for your help Klaus. Joseph.

Hello Stephen, The top left reminds me Kunihiro Kanji but it is difficult. Thank You.

Hello Guido, The characters are very worn. Thanks for trying. Jose.

Greetings to all, I appreciate it if someone would help me identify a symbol of this tsuba. The characters are very worn but maybe someone can guess the translation. Thanks for your help. Jose.

OK, Thanks for your help. Jose.

Greetings to all. I have a small Tanto. It has a pair of symbols in the Tang. Someone can translate?. Thanks. Jose.

Greetings to all. Me too I got the impression that the mei had rust and the rest had no remains of patina. It made me wonder. Thanks to your comments we learn slowly. I thank you for your cooperation. Jose.
