Nobody Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 The mei is a very difficult quiz for me. x 龍子藤原 x 光 – x-ryu-shi Fujiwara x-mitsu I still cannot identify the first and the second last characters. Those key characters could be 慶, 薦, 篤, ...... 成, 茂, 盛, 威, 戌, ...... Quote

firebee1976 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 Well... The "no kami fujiwara" is kind of leading me to believe that it might be Kagemitsu, but that's only because I've been recently doing research on a different kagemitsu blade that was rusted up pretty good. The nakago of this blade is definitely in better condition than the nakago I was dealing with though. Could it be Kashu Ishikawa no kami fujiwara kagemitsu or Kashu Kanewaka no kami fujiwara Kagemitsu? I'm just basing this on some recent floundering I've done. I'm also led to believe this because it looks like it only has one mekugi ana and the nakago looks very similar to the other blades I've seen from this particular school during that particular time period.
