truelotus Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 friend of mine just got offered a rusty blade, supposedly gunto and asked me to decipher the mei ... however, the mei turned to be difficult to decipher, even with kanji pages I can only read TEN XXX YAMA TETSU ? XXXX XXXX ... I gave up after 45 mins looks like the mei is done hastily and not a good one. Wondering if this was fake sword or perhaps someone can help me read it ?? thanks in advance regards Donny Quote

truelotus Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Posted April 8, 2014 Thank you, Moriyama-sama "tenshozan tanrenjo kitae kore" clear enough, so the blade is probably Sabinaito, no wonder the hamon fades when we tried to repolish it regards Donny Quote
