pcfarrar Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 I think this might be Minamoto Yukiyoshi ? Blade looks koto and has a nice shape (see photo). Anyone got any thoughts? Thanks,Peter Quote
SAS Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Sorry, can't help on the mei, but the koshirae looks like Imperial Court wear. Nice patina on the nakago…..I always wonder why they drilled so many ana instead of making a new tsuka from scratch and using the old hole. Quote
flemming Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 Hi What you have appears from the photo to be a Kongobyoe Moriyoshi, from late Koto period, signed Minamoto Moriyoshi. Very interesting sword. Lloyd Flemming Quote
pcfarrar Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Posted June 2, 2015 I did suspect it was kongobei school due to the sotaba-gata nakago, also the jigane reminded me a lot of a kongobei wakizashi I once owned. Thanks, Peter Quote
