    Hi, I think the mei looks more like Kinmichi or kindo é‡‘é“ than kinju é‡‘é‡ and if it is this one, it is from late muromachi.

    Hi, A sugata shot? I can only see nakago

    Hi, Searching to date a blade without seeing the whole one (with some measurement) is an inanity, all the more, when it is a suriage blade.

    Hi, I think it is Motoyuki 本行, but it is dated from Keio 3 (1867)

    Hi, There seem to be three readings of this name, but I am not sure which is the 'accepted' correct one. Is it 1. Rai Kinmichi, 2. Rai Kanemichi or 3. Rai Kindo? Rai Kinmichi is the accepted mei, you can find some informations about this here and also here

    Jacques replied to Jean's topic in Nihonto

    hi, According Malcolm E cox and Motohide Shimano there were several levels of quality. Concerning the sugata, the kazu-uchi mono nagasa is mostly 65-70 cm and are slimmer in the upper part.

    Hi, IMHO, Shitahara school is possible.

    Hi, Please Jean, read with attention this article and specially the paragraph named Kiyomitsu ha signatures and dates, you will find the mention sichijimei (7 characters) bizen osafune ju kiyomitsu. the placement of the kanji ju before or after Osafune is not an absolute rule to discern a soshin mei or à gimei.

    Hi, Sorry Jean it was not my intention Concerning E-bay, i have never bought blades on it and i shall never do it.
  17. Jacques
    Jean, I've understood what you say. But find a mei with the ju at the right place does not mean it is always genuine that would be too simple.
  18. Jacques
    Hi, Jean, You are right however i think that it is a little bit more complicated exemple here extract:
  19. Jacques
    Hi, Jean you are right i have missed that point
  20. Jacques
    Hi Jean, Bizen no kuni Osafune + name as Bishu Osafune + name are the "trade mark" of kazuuchi-mono. Also there are "some" blades which are still extant, all Gimei? :lol:

    Hi, Here some exemples of Gassan school's horimono:
  24. Jacques
    Hi, Can't find it
  25. Jacques
    Hi, Easy, mei with kanji too large with different engraving, very bad yasurime All the Gassan were great horimono carvers, It is not the case on your blade. About papers, they can be faked too. (specially old papers). On Darcy site you have a tanto from Sadakatsu you can compare http://www.nihonto.ca/sadakatsu/ss.html
