gtstcactus Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks to a kind board member my request for a translation was answered.... The sword was signed Mishina Masahiro, Mishina is the surname in this case not the school. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this smith made traditional Nihonto or if he made showato...??? The original post with the mei is here -> http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=12160 I'm sorry for starting a 2nd thread about this smith but thought my question might get more attention and chance of an answer in this new thread.

gtstcactus Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Posted February 8, 2012 I realise pictures would be more helpful, I was just wondering if anyone knew if this smith in general only produced one or the other or if he was known for doing this or that.... Quote
cabowen Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 He is not really "known" at all..... Quote
