10thRoyal Posted November 28, 2021 Report Posted November 28, 2021 I'm hoping against hope, I know, but any body have the first guess what the visible character are? My first assumption is that this isn't a very old blade as much as it was a nakago that was kept wet for much longer than I've been alive. The rest of the blade isn't in polish but is nowhere near the nakago's condition. This was a recent find at a local auction so it is still on it's way to me so I've only got the images the auction house had. Best of luck to y'all. Michael Quote
Ray Singer Posted November 28, 2021 Report Posted November 28, 2021 Please show the entire nakago with the string removed. The end is ___sada saku. Is there a date on the reverse? Condition aside, this doesn't seem to have great age. Quote
10thRoyal Posted November 28, 2021 Author Report Posted November 28, 2021 I appreciate the quick reply Ray. There doesn't seem to be an inscription on the reverse and unfortunately I wasn't given any photos without the string in the way. The only other image I have of the nakago is still partially obscured but does not seem to show any characters above that string. Quote
