bernix Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 I have difficulty in reading this mei too, In my humble opinion it seems like sue-seki or sue-bizen. Is it like 天野????原高有 Ten No ... hara taka ari? due to the colour the Nakako-tip has been shortened. Do you think it is a genuine signature? Thank you in advance. Quote

John A Stuart Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Which smith is it? There are two who signed this way concurrently. One in Dewa and one in Ugo. This by Hawley. I guess we need to see oshigata. John Quote

I guess we need to see oshigata. John They are the same smith. Ugo had been a part of Dewa until 1869. Dewa was divided to Uzen (羽前) and Ugo (羽後) in 1869. Quote
John A Stuart Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Oh. Hawley had him/them with Tak 79 and Tak 80, so, I thought two smiths. John Quote
