AikiScott1 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 Hello and good evening. I hope all this goes as I had planned, but so little does. I am supposed to have with this message the results of a sword judgement and I know the blade didn't pass shinsa and I could make out the characters for GiMei, but I couldn't make out what the other characters say. Is it who the likely maker was? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.----Scott M. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 "Gimei, Echizen Kanemasa", yes but sadly no suggestion as to who it should be. Quote
cabowen Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 Echizen Kanemasa is the suggestion as to who made it. Quote
AikiScott1 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Posted April 3, 2014 Thanks so much everyone for all of the assistance. The only question I am left with now is, as the nakago reads yamashiro no kami fujiwara toshinaga, why would Echizen Kanemasa forge the Toshinaga signature? Or was this blade originally mumei and the signature added later and aged? Thanks again.---Scott M. Quote

cabowen Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 Most likely it was either mumei or the original signature was removed, the gimei signature then added later. Quote
