The blade has/had sashikomi polish.. but it looks like someone went on it again with some untraditional way aiming for the seen mirror like finish.. after that brought back the ha and hamon with kesho polishing... We will start now with the refreshing of the sashikomi polish.. and probably a mei investigation in the shinto, shinshinto era. Will see.. Many thanks for all your kind answers. Will keep you posted if anything nice or intresting comes up.. Regards David

So. The nakago widest kasane is 7.2mm The mune kassane 6.9 or 7mm Some photos attached..

According the difference in gimei and gendai gimei signatures.. Please tell me that mine is not a gendai.. that is probably the only thing i really hope for
-
Rivkin, not so dense at all, Just forgive me for my bad photogarphic skills with my old phone.. other than that it looks like the polish is not a perfect job, it hides a lot of the jigane structure.. at least on the photos.. i have to admit that
-
Ray, Oli and Lewis.. thanks for the reference mei Although for me they look completely different
-
Of course i have that in mind.. I am currently wondering if a sec. Or third gen. Moriie in the post hatakeda times could possibly have forged the blade and in this case the mei could be so called authentic.. Sure.. not for hatakeda.. You probably saw some mei in your life.. from the nakagos overall appearance.. does the mei match the period when the blade was forged or do you see it as beeing signed later..?
-
Not as i would want to proof that the mei is authentic.. but it is not looking very freshly made.. Or am i completely wrong..
-
As far as i read not many Moriie gimei out there...
-
Thats what i thought too.. for kamakura.. it is in a too good shape
-
-
I really dont know where to position it.. For my -completely untrained- eyes the nakago looks older than shinshinto forgot to mention the sori is 2,6cm
-
Sorry for hiding the mei.. I really did not want to have the blade judged by the mei.. Myself i think it is no way the Moriie mei could be authentic.. I also did not buy it because of the mei..

Hello all, Recently i purchased a tachi.. It is signed but i think it is irrelevant at first.. later on i will reveal it of course.. Nagasa 75cm Ubu nakago Blade 29mm and 19mm at kissaki Thickness 7 and 5mm At this point i really would appreciate your experienced oppinion about the age from the sugata, jihada and jigane as well as hamon.. Many thanks in advance David

Many thanks!

I thought so... Other question.. As for the shape and appearance of the blade am i wrong when i guess it to be made in the muromachi era?

Hey there, many thanks accepting me in the forum. I am not at all an expert here, just starting with Japanese art.. I saw a blade whith a mei as in the photos.. It says kunihiro tsukuru Indeed Horikawa kunihiro signed mostly without tsukuru.. but there is one known example which is certified as he's work with this mei.. May i ask you dear members to help me out with your oppinion on that mei.. can it be kunihiro horikawa or not.. Many thanks in advance Regards David
