rodrig4 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 Hello. could you explain to me, if there is any reason, why the second mekugi ana which is at the end of the nakago was pierced. can also help me translate these kanji which must be a date or a place. merki in advance. Rodriguez. Quote
Bazza Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 HEISEI 15th YEAR 10th MONTH = October 2003???? The mekugiana at the end is called SHINOBI ANA and is not uncommon in Nihonto - we might call it "a style" or a swordsmith or owner's preference. This thread should explain further: http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/17559-shinobi-ana/ BaZZa. Quote
