Markchapman Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 I have recently got a WWII sword as my first sword After getting some translation the mei says "Watabe/Watanabe Yoshitake saku" 渡 辺 吉 武. I know he is a Seki smith. Would love to find out some more information. If anyone could help or point me in the right direction would be a great. Quote
chrisf Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Watanabe Yoshisaburo known as Yoshitake,licence received 25th March Showa 16 (1941). Not much I'm afraid but it's difficult to find information unless they are well known and recorded smiths as many only worked as swordsmiths for the duration of the war. Quote
