John C Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Hello: Could the mark in pics 1 and 2 be the same as the circled mark for Lijima in pic 3? Thank you, John C. Quote
Conway S Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Hi John, What's the context of the photos? Are they on a nakago? Conway Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 Hi John, the character should be 飯(島), and it’s actually a capital i. Pronounced Eejeema. The second of your photos looks a bit like 篠 (Sasa or Shino) as in 篠山Sasayama for example. 1 Quote

Expand These are some of the recurring marks on the 1892 Meiji 25 swords. The circled mark is from a document referencing production numbers from type 95s. It's too blurry for me to make out, however the circled mark looks very similar to the 1892 marks. If they are the same, then it explains the meaning of the mark (being made the Iijima branch). Hope that clarifies, John C. Quote
