Hoki no kami fujiwara Nobutaka nidai&sandai oshigata anyone?

[Jiro49]

I am having issues finding an oshigata of the nidai, if anyone has one could you please post it!!!

 

Thank you!!

 

original photos will post more of the blade and nakago later today...

Here you go Matt. Looks like a nice find to me, hope it all works out.

The oshigata is from Art and The Sword, Vol. 2 Very worth while getting hold of if you are looking into these smiths.

 

All the best.

(Sorry, idiot moment, this is the Ist gen, I will catch up in a bit.}

So this is Nidai, same source. Sorry about that, long day.

 

I see Martin has found some for you too. Art and the Sword has two oshigata for the san dai and suggests an early style mei and a later style one. I can post them if you want.

[Jiro49]

Sir, I would appreciate it.

 

Thank you!

Matt,

 

The hamon does not look like that of the Nobutaka line. You never know. Post the mei.

 

Here is SANDAI:

kiri yasurime in your nakago doesn't match with shodai, nidai and sandai work

maybe yondai/godai ?

After godai, the Nobutaka smith didn't have the "Hoki no kami" title

Hi,

 

A gassaku by 5 & 6 generations (if i read correctly mei is totally engraved by the godai).

 

About yasurime, they still don't match.

 

[Curran]

Post the pictures for Fred Geyer.

 

This is his sweet spot and a school I like.

I'd follow his advice on Owari Shinto.

[Jiro49]

Will do, did not get the chance last night so tonight after practice I will...

 

Thanks to everyone for their time and help with this mei!!!
