John A Stuart Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 I have trouble with these choppy cut mei, but, maybe Hidetoshi 秀俊 I am not sure though. John Quote
k morita Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Hi, The signature on the tang is "Noshu-ju Ido(family name) Hidetoshi(smith name) saku" ,濃州住井戸秀俊作. Meaning is : Made by Ido Hidetoshi in Noshu province(Gifu prefecture). He was WWII era swordsmith in Seki city. Quote
THEBEARJEW Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Posted April 13, 2011 Do you know how much the sword would be worth? even though it is hard to appraise it just give an aprox guess? Quote
THEBEARJEW Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Posted April 13, 2011 And i appreciate you helping me in finding out information on this sword. my grandfather would be gracious of you guys.rip Quote
Mark Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 from what i can see several hundred DS$, if mounted as a Shwa era tachi maybe 1500 or so based on the mounts Quote
