Dan,
I should’ve said ignoring the mei. I have no intention of altering it in any way. I was meaning that if the mei appears newer how old is the blade?
I hope that clarifies things.
Thanks again,
Jay
As I said. I too have my doubts. I still however curious about it. You say the mei does not match the nakago. If you deleted the mei where would you date or place the sword?
Thanks,
Jay
