sil Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 New to the forum and looking to tap into the vast knowledge base please. Tang signature attributed to (Mano) MASAYASU as per Slough Page 108 (Thanks George T). Image shows additional mark which I originally thought might be some sort of arsenal stamp but may also be a special form of marking by maker ? Maybe his own ranking on sword quality etc. Would appreciate any feedback on what this stamp might indicate. Thanks, Sil L Quote
loiner1965 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 looks like his personel kao....if it is then welcome to a world of pain as finding out any info on kaos, kokuins etc is very frustrating and nearly fruitless Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 No too sure on the kao or kokuin, but IMHO it isn't an arsenal stamp. Quote
