Bugyotsuji Posted August 28, 2022 Report Posted August 28, 2022 Shippō design, mid to late Edo is my first guess. 1 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted August 28, 2022 Report Posted August 28, 2022 Signed by Seiryuken Eiju, of the Tetsugendo school. Piers is correct Shippō design. Like this image I have a triple set myself. The signatures can vary a little and the seal can also be by a different maker. [Yours, mine and the three pictured all have the same seal.] 1 Quote
Brian Posted August 28, 2022 Report Posted August 28, 2022 Without even looking at the mei, that is going to be signed Seiryuken Eiju. Search the forum for tons on info on the group and that style. 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted August 28, 2022 Report Posted August 28, 2022 By the way Paul 700mm is 2.29 Feet. I am sure you mean 70 mm and the nakago-ana is 30 mm. Unless it is one like this - https://www.jauce.com/auction/m1036014452 1 1 Quote
