Mark Posted May 11, 2018 Report Posted May 11, 2018 Amahide from Mino Province. there is info in books and probably on line about him Quote
Bochavista Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Posted May 12, 2018 Thank you Mark. Appears to be a few Amahides online, I’m assuming the WWII era Seki Smith. Although I can’t find what i think is the exact match. I have several good reference books, Dawson, Fuller, and Yumoto. Definitely need to take the next step, anyone have a preference between Slough, Hawley, Sesko? I’m looking for that 1800s to 1900s guide, I’ve got to learn to id these Smiths! Thanks again, Chris B Quote
Bochavista Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Posted May 15, 2018 Very cool, looking for a copy. Thanks a lot! Chris B Quote
