Hi folks,

 

Just came across this on eBay, it appears to be some kind of mei on the nakago mune. Anyone seen this before? If so, do you have any examples that you can point at, or know which smiths may have used this?

Hi,

 

The attached photo shows an expample of a true Mune mei of Izumi no kami Kanesada (maybe 11th gen.).

Your example looks like only a mark of something to me.

Wow! That's pretty cool, I had never seen it before (obviously). Thanks.

 

Was this fairly common, or did only certain smiths make mune mei?
