Jussi Ekholm Posted February 26, 2022 Report Posted February 26, 2022 I think smith is 筑後国住武藤秀弘 - Chikugo no Kuni jū Mutō Hidehiro 2 1 Quote
george trotter Posted February 27, 2022 Report Posted February 27, 2022 Yes, that is correct, its date is Koki 2602 (I think - hard to see). I had one by him. These often have small stamps on the tang mune 'sho' (or ko?) and 'ho'. Mine was also tachi mei and was dated same KOKI way 1943/2 (see F & G #140). Quote
Lareon Posted February 27, 2022 Report Posted February 27, 2022 I know this sword. I almost bought it. Did you get it Bruce? Quote
