Please assist

[Brian]

Could I ask someone to assist please. Lying in bed sick, awaiting possible semi minor surgery next week. Can’t sit or stand (severe abscess) so can’t even check the pc kanji. Friend just sent this to me. Thanks. Kane …Saku?

[Ray Singer]

Kaneshige saku 

 

* feel better Brian 

[Brian]

Thanks Ray. The pain is constant and incredible. Getting old sucks!

Without more blade pics, could this be a Gendaito guy?

[Lewis B]

Nothing to add academically but hope you get well soon Brian. As you say there are few positives with increasing years. Just try and enjoy the ride. 

[Ray Singer]

My impression was earlier. 

[Matsunoki]

Hope you get sorted soon Brian. Wishing you the best.

[ROKUJURO]

Brian,

I wish you soonest recovery after the knife attack!  You will enjoy to feel the pain fade!

[Mark]

hard to say age.  It does not look gendai. The file marks are strange, almost looks like they were removed under the mei, i can see them in areas of the nakago.  I would say exercise caution.  If you are buying wait to see the blade, if helping someone they should be careful

 

wish you the best for a speedy recovery

[Shugyosha]

Hi Brian, 

Hope you’re better soon. 

[Alex A]

Hope your sorted soon Brian.

 

Ana looks crisp, some patina,

 

And what Ray said about it being earlier

[Bazza]

Aaaaagh, MAAAATE, so sorry to hear of your pain trip.  If it helps, a week ago I spent 2 1/2 hours in local dentist's chair having an upper back molar extracted, only to hear her say "I'm sorry, but I'll have to refer you to an oral surgeon".  3/4 hour next day in the oral surgeon's chair...  The only 'consolation' is that it was the same oral surgeon who took out my eldest daughter's impacted wisdom tooth.  Now, nine days after the surgery, still the slightest pink in the first morning spit!!!  Oh, Brian, I grieve for you and I expect the entire NMB populace is wincing in sympathy pain, as we do for all our Brethren who fall foul to Mother Nature's mercies...

 

Get well soon mate...

 

BaZZa.

[Gilles]

Take care Brian. Getting old is not simple, I feel it everyday.

The nakago and mei seems to be like one from the Meiji era, narrow nakago, big kanji.......

[Bugyotsuji]

Hang in there and look forward to the relief! 

 

(It looks like a yoroi-doshi from here.)

[Bruce Pennington]

Sorry about your suffering, Brian.  Praying for you.
