pen40 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Posted August 8, 2011 Hello, Can anyone help translate the signature on this blade? It also has a floating mum on the end of the tang. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Ken Quote

Jean Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Ken, Here is a very good link to decipher signature. THis one was not too difficult http://www.jssus.org/nkp/index.html Quote
pen40 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks. Great site for translation. Would you have any info regarding the mon on the end of the tang? The blade is dated January 1943 and I am sure it is not from the Minatogawa shrine. The mon appears to be stamped in. Probably a naval blade. Please correct me if I am wrong. Ken Quote
Jean Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Sorry Ken, my small knowledge stops at Koto period Quote
