miner1436 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 This sword has been in my family for a long time, it is machine made and has a Nagoya inspection stamp. Unfortunately I had no camera at the time, so I tried my best to copy the signature.

Stephen Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 Maybe Kenmichi or Kanemichi...? did you scan your drawings? maybe scan the nakago Quote
miner1436 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Posted July 15, 2010 I wish I could scan it, but it does not belong to me and I only saw it while visiting family out of state. Rich r. Quote
Basho12 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 I'd agree with Stephen, maybe Kinmichi? Here's a link to an oshigata; see if the bottom two characters look like what you remember. http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/kinmichi.jpg Quote
miner1436 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Posted July 15, 2010 No, the two bottom characters was cut more professionally. rich r. Quote
