peter Posted April 15, 2010 Report Posted April 15, 2010 Hello again guys, thanks for the previos help with the nagatsugu blade, i recently bought another from Mike Yamaguchi and although will take a while to get here i thought i,d ask if someone could give me the full mei so i know which Kanetaka i,m looking for and are the smaller kanji above the mekugi ana are part of the mei? Thank you, Peter, Sorry guys, no pics again, what do i need to do to get images on here? Quote
Jamie Posted April 15, 2010 Report Posted April 15, 2010 at the top of the forum, there is a how to on posting pics. You can literally upload them right off our desktop, or wherever they may be on your system. I can't help with the mei though, so I'll leave that to others. Quote

Stephen Posted April 15, 2010 Report Posted April 15, 2010 Peter not sure about the small kanji....maybe polisher name? Quote
peter Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Posted April 15, 2010 Thanks Stephen, does it read as anything?? and the other mei is Kanetaka? from what era? Peter Quote
Bazza Posted April 16, 2010 Report Posted April 16, 2010 I believe you will find this KANETAKA in the MINO-TO TAIKAN. A mate of mine has one and it is also nijimei and a very nice katana. Sue Koto. I can give a reference if required (books hard to get to at present as I'm shifting rooms in our house). Bestests, BazZa. Quote
george trotter Posted April 16, 2010 Report Posted April 16, 2010 Peter, the small kanji on top are in mild sosho form...I can't find the first one but it seems to be ? Sen To (? fairy/wizard sword) Sorry, that's all I can find. Regards, George. Quote
