k morita Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 johnb, Can you take some pics of the Masakane blade? Please up-load here. Your Masakane sword was made in around 1940. Real name is Takano(familyname) Masakane. Pease see below link, and see Takano Masakane on "Josaku ranking". http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/tosho.htm morita Quote
johnb Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Posted March 17, 2007 Sorry, bit slow posting the images. This is a big, heavy sword. Hamon is a deep sugu which you can see where I've opened up a window. It's got some serious pitting which I didn't see in the dark shop where I bought it. It cost 300 bucks so I'm not to worried. Quote
