cplnorton Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 This looks to be a bringback WWII Japanese sword in non-military mounts. Any help on the signature would be greatly appreciated. Quote
Stephen Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 upside down, maybe look around before you post 1 Quote
tesscoothome123 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Hi, I believe your blade reads Seki Ju Ishihara Kanenao Saku. Regards, John 1 Quote
Dan macmurray Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Hi... Steven was trying to do me a favor, I apologize for the upside down picture, I made that mistake.. Not Steven. No need to be rude. Is the translation possibly seki ju yoshida kaneyoshi Saku? The Navy Smith that passed in 1941 Quote
Jean Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Dan, I don't think Stephen meant to be rude, he was only blunt It is undoubtedly Kane Nao 1 Quote
Dan macmurray Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Thank you very much gentleman... So it's a machine made blade then? Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 It's non-traditionally forged (sho stamp tells you that) - not necessarily machine made, but not following tradition in some form. Quote
Dan macmurray Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Understood...... As always, this is the place to go for excellent information. Thank you very much. Quote
