Bugyotsuji Posted June 10, 2024 Report Posted June 10, 2024 I see a section of iron with 長光作 Nagamitsu Saku chiselled into it in funky writing. The hole towards the top of the photo suggests this might be part of the tang of a sword. Quote
Newtimer Posted June 10, 2024 Author Report Posted June 10, 2024 Yes this is a full sword just does let me upload more photos Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted June 10, 2024 Report Posted June 10, 2024 Looks about right, there are quite a few variations of Mei for Nagamitsu: https://www.japaneseswordindex.com/naga.htm The Type 98 mounts are original, the blade should have some variant of Choji Hamon. Quote
lonely panet Posted June 10, 2024 Report Posted June 10, 2024 thats a very poorly cut mei for nagamistu?? i would be very suspiscoius about the areas that cleaned area. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted June 10, 2024 Report Posted June 10, 2024 Is there a date on the other side? Quote
Newtimer Posted June 11, 2024 Author Report Posted June 11, 2024 No there nothing on the other side 1 Quote
cisco-san Posted June 12, 2024 Report Posted June 12, 2024 maybe not that Nagamitsu..., as I have not seems any Gimei Nagamitsu yet Quote
Newtimer Posted June 12, 2024 Author Report Posted June 12, 2024 The blade looks ok but I’d like to get it restored or polished do I have to send to Japan ? Quote
