    Obviously gimei, NBTHK oshigata (same sword the one Ray posted)
  2. Jacques
    Old papers = no papers, whatever some people may say

    Myoju was the son of Umetada Myōkin Shigetaka 埋忠明欽重降 who was the teacher of shodai Tadayoshi.
  4. Jacques
    That's right.
  5. Jacques
    Who is the polisher ?
  6. Jacques
    This perfectly demonstrates that it is sometimes difficult even for true experts to attribute a sword. So when I read certain self-proclaimed experts, I can't refrain laughing and think that Einstein was absolutely right about infinity.

    There were 2 Hasebe Kunishige, the second worked around OEI

    I should point out that I am referring to Chumon-uchi mono produced by skilled smiths (those showed in literature), not kazu-uchi mono or swords forged by obscure craftsmen.

    I would like to add that the shape of the nakago does not correspond to what Kiyomitsu was doing at that time (and that's not all...). https://www.toukenkomachi.com/index_ja_tachi&katanaA040425.html

    So what? Just because it's in the Compton collection, does that mean it has to be soshin? All Bizen Osafune swords with a nagamei and an ubu nakago have a nengo, since OEI.
  11. Jacques
    Does the person I made laugh have a valid point to make?
  12. Jacques
    No nengo = gimei....
  13. Jacques
    Mei (signature) is fake for sure but i can't say without having the sword in hands if it's a true nihontöt or a gunto (I do not have the power of divination).
  14. Jacques
    Does the Kiyomitsu have a nengo ?
  15. Jacques
    Ok, the machi is in better condition than I thought. however, I don't see why it would be machi-okuri.
