Thank you Xiyang! Any opinions from others about if it’s authentic or gimei?
-
Hello everyone! Can someone translate?
-
Hey all, I met a guy who has a sword that was brought back by his grandfather from the Philippines. He asked if I could help him find any information on the sword that he could. I was hoping someone could help me with the translation of the Mei.
-
Would this blade be made by Ichihara Nagamitsu since it was made during WW2? Or could it be from another Nagamitsu? Is the Mei gimei or real?
-
Could anyone take a crack at the translation, please?
-
Hey everyone! Im looking for opinions. The seller says it was made by Echizen No Kami Minamoto Nobuyoshi. Is that correct? Do you think this signature is Gimei or real? I’ve included what the seller sent me
-
Okay, Thank you!
-
Hey guys! I bought a gunto. Can you tell me if the tassel is real?
-
Thank you Mr Singer! Its in gunto mounts but obviously now I know it’s older than WW2. I will look for information on the maker.

Hello all, can anyone help me with the translation of this Mei?
-
@Ray Singer I was doing some research and found several smith that signed kanemune. What era do you think the sword is from? Muromachi, Shinto, edo? Just trying to narrow the list down
-
Thank you Ray!

Hey all, this sword isn’t in great shape and the seller tried their best to get me a good picture of the signature. Can anyone make out anything?
-
Can anyone make anything from this tag out?

Was curious about the translation of this going to war banner. Any help would be appreciated
-
@Bruce Pennington so from my reading about the W stamp, it appears primarily on Takehisa, Yoshiharu and the Mantetsu blades. Is that correct?
-
It’s not in perfect shape
-
It’s in great polish. But I do notice some damage to the kissaki/tip. It might be broken off or chipped. wonder if the habaki is silver foil?
-
-
Okay! Thank you all for your help!
-
So is this a traditionally made blade? Would this be a gendaito or a replica?
-
Hey all! Can anyone make out the Mei?
-
@John C does it say anything else about the sword?
-
Can anyone make out what this says? I’m interested in the sword but i believe it to be Edo period and Mumei
-
@Bruce Pennington Bruce, I believe the number is 1 8. It was hard to make out on the Mei but under funchi I also noticed a 1 8. I included that pic as well. Hope it helps! And thanks everyone again for the help.
