Mark C Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 hi all, any help on this mei would be greatly appreciated. with a large amount of imagination, :? i think the first kanji could be "Suke" and the second could be "Mune" Many thanks regards mark Quote
sencho Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 Man that's tricky...... 介 宗 Sukemune.... I can see where you are getting that... but then again.... imagination could run wild! cheers! Quote
Mark C Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Posted February 5, 2007 Very tricky, I was thinking this suke 助 Time for another beer I think Regards Mark Quote
sencho Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 On further eye watering study of this, it looks like if the 1st kanji was SUKE 介 it would be pushed to far over to the right. 方MASA is more the shape of the kanji too, but this would be pushed over to the right as well... 初HATSU maybe...???? second kanji could be any of the fiollowing 采SAI 宗MUNE 氷KIYO 永NAGA but if you looked at it long enough you may see a fluffly bunny rabbit... who knows.... maybe one of the'spurts will have a better idea..... also maybe the blade could tell more... cheers Quote
sencho Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 I was thinking this suke 助 Ahh... yes of course... I beg your pardon... yes it is almost beer o'clock on the East coast of USA!!! cheers!! Quote
Mark C Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Posted February 5, 2007 its almost last orders at the bar here. a quick picture of part of the blade. Nagasa = 20 11/16 sori = 10mm, koshi sori regards mark Quote
John A Stuart Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 Hi Guys, Ach, well the sun is over the yardarm, I'll hoist one too. As if I need an excuse. Mucked about with the image and thought it might be Norisada. Hard to see, eh? John Quote
sencho Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 What Kanji for Mori, Stephen?? Cheers Quote
sencho Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 I dunno..... that second kanji looks more and more like 宗Mune to me... especially with John "the salty sea dog" Stuarts negative.... cheers Quote
John A Stuart Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 Hi All, Here is the kanji fopr Norisada that it looked like but 'suke' the more I stare at it seems more likely. John Quote
Mark C Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Posted February 6, 2007 Hi all, Thanks for your help. Certainly lots of different angles of attack :D I will investigate all the options and if they draw a blank then I think I will put it away until the Shinsa team visit the UK again. Again many thanks Regards Mark Quote
