tesscoothome123 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Posted December 3, 2016 Hi Lev, Your sword reads Kiyonobu. Regards, John Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted December 4, 2016 Report Posted December 4, 2016 The smith is Nagamura Kiyonobu. He was a smith who made traditional and non-traditional blades and worked in Seki. If I remember correctly he was a rikugun jumei tosho. 1 Quote
Death-Ace Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks Joe! Did a little research on him, as well. Not as famous but it appears that he made a few good quality gendaito. The one I bought appears that way with a wild, gaudy choji like hamon, but unfortunately has two hagire in it C'est la vie! Quote
