moriarty Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Greetings Kyle, The picture you've shown seems to contain a NENGO or date. It reads: 昭和甲申春- Shōwa Kinoe saru-haru (Spring of 1944?) 1 1 Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Kyle, Would you do me a favor and post the mei-side? Looks to be stainless? A few smiths used this form of dating during the war, but not many. I know I've seen a smith that does this, and I can't recall who it was, and it's killin' me. Quote
