Swordsmith seal

[Koopyetz]

Hellow forum members:

 

This is my first post.

 

I have noticed seal at tip of tang. It appears to have been stamped. I refrence sword by Kanezane made around WW2. I believe it is called kokuin.

 

Would someone please recommend source that might show examples of seals.

 

I would like to compare seal for Kanezane and Michizane.

 

Thank you

 

Rick
