Another Nagamitsu

[Beater]

Hi there,

 

Back in August 2023 I posted my Nagamitsu with rare long mei and dated.

Thought I’d  show this, my latest find, which complements the earlier one but has an abbreviated mei and is in Rinji Seishiki mounts. Hope you enjoy.

 

Regards,

 

Kevin.

Thanks Klaus, yes, seen that article. What I’d really like to find, if anyone has it, is a photograph of this smith. I’ve never come across one to date.

Is there an inspection mark and/or serial number on the nakago mune?

Hi Thomas,

 

No stamps / numbers of any kind, including on the nakago mune . There is, however, a tiny Saka stamp on the neck of the saya’s haikan. I was unsure what the stamp was until I saw a recent photo in a thread by Deborah Nakamoto, showing the same stamp in same location on her ( Nagamitsu) sword, which sent me back for a second look at my own. Only then did I see it and made Bruce Pennington aware.

 

Regards,

Kevin.

I have always enjoyed that style RS with the dark brown lacquer .

I also have a Nagamitsu blade in RS mounts. It is in storage at the moment, but I do have a few photos of it:

A pic from Nagamitsu or Emura is a big mystery... many would like to have incl. me :-)
