Steves87 Posted November 9, 2019 Report Posted November 9, 2019 Hello all, I have this Nara Tsuba with a golden patched Mei and although I have seen this style of gold patched Mei before, I am unable to find out if there is any significance or reasoning to it. Is this possibly a later addition and not an original signature? Although I have not been able to find an answer to this, I'm pretty sure the Mei reads Nao masa. Please forgive any offence to Tsuba quality or photo quality. Thank you for any help you may be able to give. Quote
John A Stuart Posted November 12, 2019 Report Posted November 12, 2019 One can run across such fairly regularly, and Naomasa is a good reading. John 1 Quote
Steves87 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Report Posted November 12, 2019 Thank you for your reply John, my translations are something I have been practicing (where I know I can attain answers without pestering NMB). So no reason/significance, just a different choice in Mei style... Quote
