Ian Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Can anyone help with the second to last character? I know its a long shot, not even the shinsa team could read it, but it still got 76 pts. Regards Quote
John A Stuart Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Could it be 實 sane- or 重 shige-, just going by the outline and guessing what would fit. john Quote
Jacques Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Hi, Tomoyuki Saneyuki Nagayuki Sadayuki Kuniyuki Motoyuki Teruyuki All these smiths were in the fujiwara Takada Ha. Quote
Mark Green Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 There are a lot of '-Yuki' in Bungo. Did your paper slip put an age on the sword. Could you send a boshi pic. I will look through the oshigata of the Bungo To and see what I can find. Muneyuki, maybe? Or Tadayuki Mark G Quote
Ian Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 Many thanks for your views so far. The paper gives it C1680. The blade has all the characteristics of Shigeyuki and it also has the four groups of ashi running along the blade's legth within the notare hamon! Quote
Mark Green Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Could very well be. Don't ya just love Bungo Takata swords! I'll see if I can scan you some Oshigata. Mark G Quote
Mark Green Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Hey I haven't forgotten you, My scanner died. But, I would say Shigeyuki is a real good bet! email me, and I will send you some oshi, when I can. Mark G Quote
benkyoka Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I have a Takado Fujiwara Shigeyuki katana. If I can get on my computer when I return home I will post a picture of the mei. At a glance, the hamon looks very similar. edit: here are the pics. Quote
Mark Green Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Hey Syd, Do you know what gen. your Katana is? Here is my Shigeyuki, 2nd gen. Shinto, I think. Mark G Quote
