Art Torano Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 I wish I could offer more, but this sword is attribution to the second generation Wakasa no Kami Ujifusa that worked from 1569 to 1588. He had a very interesting history. This sword is mumei, but I find it a beautiful blade in hand. Thank you Mike Y for finding it for me. Regards, Art Torano Quote
Jamie Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 Interesting sword Art. Ty for posting it. Quote
Art Torano Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks Guys, It took me almost three years from the time I saw it until I held at in my hands. I have to really give a great deal of thanks to Mike Y from Tetsugendo. He and I had spoken about it, then about a year later he gives me a call to be sure I would be at the Tampa show because he had a surprise for me. Not only did he have the sword, he saved me a substantial amount of money. I think patience is a great factor in this hobby. Regards, Art Quote
