gary72 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 Hi can anyone tell me what the kanji reads on this katana I think I can read bizen? Thanks Gary Quote
Gabriel L Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 Mei in image is very faint and seems incomplete. Can you post a photo of the whole nakago, with light that highlights the mei better? Looks like 備州長船平? — Bishū Osafune Taira something, but the "something" is hard to read and doesn't seem like a very good match to the few smiths recorded as signing with that exact string. Quote
Nobody Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 My guess is 備州長舩守家 - Bishu Osafune Mori'ie. Quote
