bullpuppy Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 Can anyone identify the stamps on this sword? Quote
Mark Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 my guess is it is a "hot stamp" used by an individual smith, maybe Kanehisa Quote
Grey Doffin Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 The stamp isn't an arsenal stamp. Rather, it's a kao, or kakihan, the personal seal of the swordsmith, or if the sword in question is a gunto it might possibly be a stamp used by the manufacturer who sold the sword.
