[EricM]

hi all

i am wondering if some of you could help me to identify 2 mei

 

as far as i know one is a hizen tachi (early shinto nagasa of 72 cm) but wondering which smith it is!!

 

the second one is believed to be by tango no kami kanemichi, i had a look on http://www.jssus.org/nkb/

and only 2 smith are matching so wondering which smith it is!!

I identify the first 7 characters as 肥前国住近江大 (Hizen no kuni ju Omi dai). So, the title may be Omi Daijo (近江大掾).

 

IMHO, if we assume "Hizen (no) kuni ju Omi Daijo", the possible name of the smith may be as follows.

 

1. Tadahiro (忠廣) II

2. Tadayoshi (忠吉) IV

3. Gimei

4. others
