Dear Mark,

 

This does look like a nice find.  What makes you conclude that the hi are ato bori?  I'm curious.

 

All the best

[Thatsme]

Thought the norm. would have it run down nakago? do u think original maybe? was only a thought, yes Sadatsugu does horimono, and thought if original, that would have been? ??

[Thatsme]

Can have a go at Shira-saya, pretty much unreadable. See pics, sorry all i got.

 

 

Thanks

I see a "Hiro" there, as in "Sadahiro". And I agree that these grooves could be original.

[Thatsme]

Thank you Peter, was only a thought about hi, good 2 hear different veiws

 

 

Mark

[Thatsme]

Do you think Peter, mei could be sadahiro??

[SAS]

Without regarding the mei, my thought would be Koto katate uchigatana. Nice find.

[Thatsme]

Thank you, she's on the way

Trying 2 pin the tail on the smith, only problem!! Happy with purchase either way.

[Thatsme]

I know not right area (4 blade shots)

Just a couple of it thou.

Plus closer tsuba

Tsuka not original, fitted later already know

 

 

4-5 days will be in hand, post better shots then.

 

Mark

[Thatsme]

Got it in hand post better pics of mei and better blade. I believe half alright for price. See what you recon.

 

Tried to do different shots. Still not sure on the second character?
