Help again please

[wakiboy]

My friend has sent me another Mei and I’ve spent most of the day trying to figure it out but I’ve failed again, the tang has very distinct yasuremei which I’m sure I’ve seen before but my memory is letting me down, any help is most welcome….

 I think it may be Shigehide but I can’t find anything like this…

thank you 

Ian

會津住重秀作 would be my guess. 

 

Aizu ju Shigehide saku 

 

Not certain on HIDE though.

重寿　Shigetoshi

The same smith as in the thread below

Thanks Ray, I struggled with the HIDE character as well, I’ve been looking at Gendai how wrong could I be..

Thanks Steve 

I never considered TOSHI and I was looking at Gendai/Showa well off with the period….. the Tang is so clean and in mint condition..

Many thanks for the info.

What am I missing with this new info? The name of the smith differs from what was originally thought? Any info appreciated!
