Thekirsh Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Hi Everyone I am trying to find any information on my sword signed "Kawachi Daijo Shigesada" Providing I have translated right that is! I have Hawleys and think he is SHI445 but thats all I have. Nagasa = 68cm Any extra help would be much appreciated. Thanks Simon Quote
Paul Martin Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 Genroku period smith from Harima. Also, signed 播州住人重貞作 Further info in the Kokon Kaji Bikou, Toko Soran, Shinto Koto Taikan and the Nihonto Jiten. Note: carved Poeny in a circle. (Nihonto meikan third edition) Quote
Thekirsh Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Posted February 14, 2010 Thanks for the reply Paul, I will see if I can track down the books via local collectors ( nudge nudge Mr BaZZa) Cheers Simon Quote
Bazza Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 Ah, TheKirsch, you're a hard task-master mate. I consider myself nudged... Paul, thanks for helping out Simon, my good-friend-who-just-lives-down-the-road. I think we had checked out 20 or more reference books for TheKirsch without success, but I didn't check the Meikan . That's for after dinner tonight when it's dark and I can't do any more mowing... Bestests, BaZZa. Quote
