I do not know if WA Compton had items with English sayagaki, but there was one Kiyomaro on Yahoo JP with similar sayagaki a while back. Of course these items surfacing at Yahoo JP instead of higher profile dealers could be a question mark.

here another one 

Wasn't Masamune but still a nice sword in my opinion.

There was another one of these the other day with pictures referencing some of Compton’s books and a similar sayagaki.

 

There seems to be many of these Compton masterpiece swords popping up recently with suspicious papers.

I remember seeing another Compton Masamune 5-6 years ago on Yahoo.jp.

I understood Hamfish and I agree with you. I was just curious if someone knows if Compton had this type of sayagaki for some of his items. There have been several of them in Yahoo Japan, and I would guess they got at least the idea from somewhere. Unfortunately I haven't got books about Compton collection, and so much time has gone by since his passing. I do know that he was extremely well regarded in Japan and I feel there would be a prestige having an item that was once in his collection.

Dear All.

 

Just out of interest I checked the sale catalogues and there were three Kanemitsu, one in each part of the sale; one is a tanto, one has kinzogan mei and Juyo certificate and the last is a very different sword to this one.  

 

All the best.
