DirkO Posted August 17, 2022 Report Posted August 17, 2022 There's actually a number of smiths who signed 貞次. It's a nice, very good sized piece. My guess would be Momoyama or even later. It has a elongated kissaki, high shinogi, some masame and shows attractive activities - which narrows it down a bit, but not by much. I think your best bet would be Massimo Rossi in Rome to have an in hand appraisal. He can also tell you about a possible polish. I think it would look stunning, but could be I'm overlooking things not shown in the pictures. Sorry I can't be of more help. Quote
