harvg Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 I recently acquired this wakizashi from an online auction. The mei is faint (old)?. I believe I can make out "Daido" as the 3rd character....? Thanks in advance for any assistance! Harvey G Quote
Geraint Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 Dear Harvey. It is hard to see but I think the third kanji might be no Kami. Have a look at Kawachi no Kami Kunisuke, I am fairly sure that the fourth kanji is Kuni. Hope this helps. All the best. Quote
Jean Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 I read Hirosuke, I love it, each one can give a free interpretation..... I can see the Kami kanji, Geraint. Quote
Ray Singer Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 Ditto. Kawachi (no) kami Kunisuke. Quote
harvg Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Posted August 13, 2018 As always, thanks so much! I have been looking at the mei of the different generations, and having the hardest time matching the Suke kanji. Closest I come is to 1st gen, but this overall mei seems much fainter. I would have to lean towards maybe gimei.....?? Harvey G Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 It has no immediate hallmarks of Kunisuke. Quote
