    koto tanto

    Hi guys here is some pics a koto tanto i have, i know it says bishu osafune but cant make out the rest of the mei, i have a soft spot for it as it was the first nihonto i ever saw i remember my dad bringing it home from the uk about 1982 i was 12 and had never seen anything so cool.
  22. Many thanks again guys for your help i agree with what you guys have suggested the aoi carved on the blade does look suspect, i suspect i will never no for sure unless i submit for shinsa which is unlikely to happen regards Chris H
  23. Thanks for your replies i don't think its the 2nd gen Kunimasa as i found one of his mei online and there's some discrepancies, haven't found any oshigata of the 3rd an 4th gen kunimasa but i am starting to think Franco's right its probably gimei regards Chris H
  24. Hi guys i have a wakizashi signed Fujiwara kunimasa i think it could be shinto-shinshinto but not sure there are a couple of smiths who signed their blades with a aoi mon any help would much appreciated regards Chris H
