Hi Luc, no sadly my Katchu library and reference material is very slim compared to my Nihonto resources. I do however have "helmets of the Saotome school" ;)

Ichiguchi have a Sada hachi too. But no recorded Sadanaga.

the kabuto is very likely an myochin Ichiguchi.

If it is Munenaga, it is allmost a confirmation.

Had a Japanese sword friend who's normally very good at reading kanji confirm he thought the Mei read "Munenaga Saku".

Thank guys for all your effort on this one, so a Myochin Ichiguchi signed Munenaga Saku. Question is Uwe, when was Munenaga active?

I think you have to date this one at the end of the 18th century Nick. But there is very little known about him.
