Hi,

 

Mei reads Yamato no kami Fujiwara Tadayuki.

[Guest nickn]

thanks jacques

and the 4 kanji on the other side?

[Guest nickn]

gimei?

[Jacques D.]

Hi,

 

I have few oshigata of this smith, but i don't think, the mei seems genuine for me. He worked in Tenwa (1681), is rated chusaku in Fujishiro and 240 man in Toko taikan.

[Bugyotsuji]

thanks jacques

and the 4 kanji on the other side?

 

Would it be possible to get a clearer shot of the 'first' Kanji, the 'second' Kanji and the 'third' Kanji, please?

[Jacques D.]

Hi,

 

I don't see well but i think the ura mei reads Nanban tetsu saku kore

[Nobody]

I cannot read the four kanji mei either.

By guesswork, they look like as follows, though I cannot understand them.

 

æš´é›ä½œä¹‹

[Guest nickn]

here are the first 4 kanji

[Jacques D.]

Hi,

 

æš´ means storm in chinese. Would that mean this blade was made with storm (meteorite) iron?

[Jacques D.]

Hi,

 

I've asked a very knowledgeable person (ZVD)

 

He says, This inscription is scarce, it is often engraved with others kanji; it means forged energetically.

[Guest nickn]

any chance the mei is genuine?

[Jacques D.]

Hi,

 

As already said, for me, it seems genuine, but being not an expert, only shinza can confirm or not

[Guest nickn]

sorry i thought you said not genuine
