Kusenda Posted December 31, 2021 Report Posted December 31, 2021 Hello, can you please tell me something about this sword. I would be happy if you could tell me a period and maybe a school in which this sword was made. And also I would be happy if somebody could translate writting on kogatana. Thank you very much. I appreciate your knowledge. Quote
noneed2hate Posted December 31, 2021 Report Posted December 31, 2021 Greetings Mojmir, Those photos are a hard read being upside down, but I was able to download it and flip it. I am reading the Kogatana as 三完包吉 Misada Kaneyoshi, not too certain on if the second character is fact 完/sada, but that's my best guess. Other than that I'm not too familiar with that name or their work. I'll defer to those with more experience for further input. -George 1 Quote
Geraint Posted January 2, 2022 Report Posted January 2, 2022 Dear Mojmir. There have been few responses to your post, partly because it is the holiday season and partly because there is very little that can be seen from this sword and your photographs. We can see that it is a wakizashi, genuine, in mounts. It seems to have a longer kissaki but even that is hard to see. To be able to say anything meaningful for an out of polish unsigned wakizashi is not possible. If the sword is yours and you can see anything of hamon or boshi then please do tell us, that might help. Happy New Year. All the best. 2 1 1 Quote
Bazza Posted January 2, 2022 Report Posted January 2, 2022 Good morning Mojmir, At least it is morning in my part of Australia!! Never mind the kogatana, could you please post some images of the kozuka itself, both sides. It has the "look" of an old one, possibly Ko Kinko. Better minds than mine will know, but the worn look could be the use of centuries. Happy New year to all. BaZZa. 1 Quote
