Hello could someone assist with this translation. Trying to determine the date if specified or any other pertinent info. Seems like there may be different Ichiryu Kajiwara (梶原 一龍) signatures The 1st pic is not my mask but shows as same maker

Thank you for the explanation

Hello all, Thought I would share 1st Ko-wakizashi I will own. Sue Mihara school Mumei Shobu-Tsukuri with NBTHK Hozon cert. I love this blade shape style. Opinions are welcome

Thanks Henry

Well I decided to move forward with the sale. I am going to try to just enjoy the piece and stop obsessing over an opinion...odds are the papers are good considering it's an unsigned piece. Since I dont have access to anyone who could evaluate the fittings in person there is no way to determine if the papers were compromised so I will just enjoy the art.

Thanks

Ugh i thought collecting was supposed to be fun!! Getting buried in the minutia

Even the envelope looks different not sure how he arrived at Hozon

I know it’s very odd

Thanks he was able to get back to me and stated the Shinsa date was May 5 1973 and stated the papers are Hozon which I guess he gave the equivalent to Kanteisho

Thanks Pete
