Thank you Bruce, I wasn't sure if the bottom on was a Seki stamp or not. The mei is not the same as your Sukekuni. You think different smith or maybe different engraver?

Hello, I would like to present you for consideration and discussion what has been identified as Sukekuni. I have found a few posts about Sukekuni stating there are 3 smiths using that name in the Seki area during the war. Any information on which made this one would be appreciated.

Hello, I recently purchased a Gunto mounted sword. If one of you fine Gentlemen would be so kind to assist in the translation the effort will be much appreciated. There are no markings on the other side. Thank You, Sam

Moriyama Thank you very much, That matches with the example on the Japanese sword index. I never would have made that connection without your help.

Bruce, The Habaki is on very tight, I tried to remove it but didn't want to mess anything up. I will try again and update when I can. The 3 seppa have the 287 to match the tsuba kanji. The Tsuka is a little loose and looks to be missing 1 maybe 2 seppa. -

The is a small M on the same side as the date. I am just a beginner at this, does everything else look correct on this sword? Thank You, Sam -
