Stever Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 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? Quote
Nobody Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 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. Quote
Stever Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Posted January 17, 2007 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? Quote
Nobody Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 I do not think that Mune mei is common, though I have seen several cases. Ex. http://homepage2.nifty.com/FUJITOKEN/page029.html Quote
