wakiboy Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 Gentlemen I am trying to find any information on a Shinshinto smith who signed:- Tosa no Suke Tachibana Munetake, any information would be most welcome. Ian Quote
16k Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 Only thing I have on hi. Is his time period: kaei Quote
wakiboy Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Posted March 16, 2020 Thank you Jean That is just about all I can find, I don't have a very good library and so I'm hoping someone can help. Ian Quote
16k Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 Well, I have him referenced twice in my library, but without anymore details. Good news is you probably have a shoshin mei! 1 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 Yup, no one is likely to fake anyone that obscure! In fact, if you own that blade, Ian, please post it, with good photos of the mei, so it can be added to Markus' & Stan's databases. That's how they grow. Quote
wakiboy Posted March 17, 2020 Author Report Posted March 17, 2020 Hi Ken Unfortunately I don't own the blade, a friend has it and the Nakago is in poor condition and the Mei only partly showing, can only read Tosa ? ? ? ? Munetake. I will get a picture from him and see if anyone else can make more sense from it. The reason I put it as (no Suke Tachibana) is that he is the only one using that unusual TAKE character although the remnants of the missing characters don't seem to match........... I will post the picture as soon as I receive it. Ian Quote
