rebcannonshooter Posted February 7, 2020 Report Posted February 7, 2020 Hi Brodie, the signature looks like "NO SHU MURA YAMA KANE SHIGE KITAU" Looks like a showa (ww2) blade, but I don't see a date. Odd that it has two ana? Tom M. Quote

Brodieb Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Posted February 7, 2020 Hi guys thanks for the information. So he was a wartime Smith? The two ana made me think it may have been an older blade? 1 Quote
