BRUNROX Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Greetings! This is a type 3 that I picked up on a trade and having a difficult time with the translation. Only two Kanji , second one I believe to be "Kiyo" , of course I might be totally wrong. Has a faint Showa stamp and date inscription on other side. All help is appreciated. Best Regards, Mario P. (Two pics, can not upload in one.Sorry.) Quote
george trotter Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Mr Brunox, your signature is Kanekiyo There was a Kanekiyo working in Seki making gunto 1939-1945 (real name Nagamura Kiyosaburo)...this may be him. As you say this sword is in Type 3 mounts, the stamp is probably a "Gi" stamp...it is inside a cherry blossom, so is often mistaken for the more common "Sho" stamp. As it is in Type 3 mounts, the date (if dated) could be anywhere from 1943-1945. Hope this helps, George. Quote
BRUNROX Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 Thank you George, it does help a lot. I was not aware of a "Gi" stamp, I will look at it again. Best Regards, Mario P. Quote
