Hi I'm having trouble with the MEI....I'm thinking the last two are Kane Mitsu and have no real educated opinion on the first two??

Any help out there? :D

Hi Marcello, the mei reads "Yabushita Yoshimitsu".

 

This is the smith in question as listed in my swordsmith index:

 

Yoshimitsu (義光), Shōwa (昭和, 1926-1989), Gifu – „Yoshimitsu“ (義光), civilian name „Yabushita Fujio“ (藪下不二夫)

Thanks Markus, I just found An old posting on the board for the same smith!Was he considered an average smith in his listing?

Thank you again

Unfortunately I wasn´t able to find a relyable "evaluation" of this Yoshimitsu.

But spontaneously and out of lack of much info, I would say he was average

to lower ranking.
