Steffieeee Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 Hi can anyone help translate this signature? On a fairly standard short katana. I'm guessing late Shinto maybe later? Thanks in advance Quote

Steffieeee Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Posted March 9, 2020 Thanks. Would that be a Shinto Mei? Quote
Steffieeee Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Posted March 9, 2020 Thanks. Cool. Sure looks like the same signature as on others. I guess it's been shortened which is why it's lacking the last bit?.. Just noticed the tsuba is also signed on this sword. Maybe it's even legible.... Very simple looking iron tsuba. And there seems to be a character or two on the other side of the guard. I think they are real characters. Quote

Steffieeee Posted March 26, 2020 Author Report Posted March 26, 2020 Is it worth posting the blade of this sword here to see if it matches the Mei? As a description I can see the boshi has a very long kaeri-tsuyoshi and a broad widely undulating hamon. Quote
