wakiboy Posted July 30, 2022 Author Report Posted July 30, 2022 Thank you Piers, The last three characters I struggled on I got the Mitsu. Ian Quote
wakiboy Posted July 30, 2022 Author Report Posted July 30, 2022 Thanks Ray, I sent you PM Best Regards Ian Quote
wakiboy Posted July 30, 2022 Author Report Posted July 30, 2022 In Alfred Dobree (Japanese Sword Blades)the 3rd character up is the same as A8 (Hada) which makes no sense.... Ian Quote

wakiboy Posted July 30, 2022 Author Report Posted July 30, 2022 Thanks Steve That certainly threw me a wobbly, do you know what the Hata stands for as I've not come across this before? Ian Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 30, 2022 Report Posted July 30, 2022 Actually, this is the Mei that I found originally, as if it had been cut off in some way… 伊藤肥後守泰光代写恒光作 Quote
SteveM Posted July 30, 2022 Report Posted July 30, 2022 Hata is the family name. Mitsuyo is the given name. A slightly tricky name because 代 looks a bit like 作, which is what one would expect at the end of a mei. Quote
wakiboy Posted July 30, 2022 Author Report Posted July 30, 2022 Thank you all, I can now see what info I can find on him... Regards Ian Quote
