cabowen Posted May 16, 2010 Report Posted May 16, 2010 suishinshi masahide (kao) not shinto.... Quote
Wickstrom Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Posted May 16, 2010 What time period do you think it is from then? Quote
cabowen Posted May 16, 2010 Report Posted May 16, 2010 hard to say from the photos but in all likelihood the signature is gimei and it a late shinshinto or later fake....What is going on above the hi-that large black area??? Quote
Wickstrom Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Posted May 16, 2010 I am not sure, probably trying to cover up some kind of blemish. I figured this was probably a gimei but was not so sure about the blade. Thanks for your info Quote
