Markus Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Hi Peter, The pics are upside-down but the signature could be "Kaneshige" (兼重). Quote

Markus Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 There were several Kaneshige active (Haynes lists seven using the characters given). Can you post a pic of the entire tsuba, maybe we can rule some out... Quote
peter Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Posted April 21, 2010 Hope these will shed a little light, Peter Quote
Markus Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Haynes lists a Kaneshige affiliated with the Nara school. This would be IMHO the most fitting attributive guess here, hence I have no comparison´s of his signature nor am I totally sure about the signature itself. Quote
peter Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Posted April 21, 2010 Thank you Markus could you take a look at the 1 i just posted i think it,s tomoyuki? Quote
