Ed Hicks Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 Translation help needed...Suke Tada (?) Daito. Thanks for looking. Ed Quote
Gabriel L Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 Looks to me like: Awa no Kami Tomotada 阿波守朝忠 However it is not totally obvious whom that would refer to if correct. ------------ EDIT: so I googled "阿波守朝忠" and look what comes up… you asking the same question twice? :lol: Quote
Ed Hicks Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks, I failed to recall what or when I had asked originally, senior moments happen with more regularity as you age apparently...It's Deja Vu all over again...I appreciate the swift reply. So far I've found no reference for this smith. Blade is of good quality, but condition makes it difficult to discern much without a polish. Ed Quote
1tallsword Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 might be late muromachi, I have seen a couple ... Quote
Gabriel L Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 might be late muromachi, I have seen a couple ... You've seen a couple of this signature specifically? If so that is good evidence for the smith being meikan more (not in the meikan), as opposed to gimei or something. Quote
1tallsword Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 i recall it was very close, i dont have the picture to compare, just my memory. it was at a local sale up here in canada, there were a few swords. the sale was this past spring. I only recall it because i remember being stumped and going home that night to look it up in my books, Quote
