maybe mino, but there are from memory approx. 30 or so of them . I have no idea as to yours sorry

[Swey]

Thank you for your response.

 

So, according to the list seen here : https://nihontoclub.com/view/smiths/meisearch?type=All&mei_op=contains&mei=kanemitsu

It would be : https://nihontoclub.com/smiths/KAN1473

 

Or it's more complicated than that.

Much more complicated I'm afraid as their naga-mei (full signature) would be something like noshu-seki ju kanemitsu but they also signed often with a shorter niji mei (two character given name) for a variety of reasons. So it could probably be any of the 20-30 mino smiths or possibly one from a different province.

Ok, i will post more pics in few days.

 

Thanks

it's just very hard to see because of the rust.
