max Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Hello all, Would someone be so kind as to translate this for me. I want to begin to identify this sword. Thank you in advance. Max http://imageshack.us/g/545/dsc04439d.jpg/ Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Well, at first glance it looks like Hitachi no Kami Muneshige, and he was known for using Nanban tetsu in his swords. Someone (Ken, Hawaii?) on this site was looking for a Muneshige just a couple of months ago, I faintly remember. Quote
Curran Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Pleasant tsuba. later Edo revival piece without a kozuka or kogai ana, but uses several sukashi designs together well. Also, the habaki is beaten up but was once something personal. I cannot comment on the blade, but some of the fittings point towards a personal regard for the sword as more than just a tool. Quote
