Vladimir Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Would someone be able to assist me with the translation of this mei. sorry for the bad picture regards, Vladimir Bykov Quote
Ludolf Richter Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Hi,the Mei reads Bungo ju Fujiwara Kuniyuki. Besides the 2 from the 17th Century,who would have used their honory title (Daijo/Kami),there is a post-WWII-swordsmith possible.Ludolf Quote
David McDonald Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Dear Vladimir Bykov 1. KUN1897 1658 -- Hoshu takata ju sansaemonjo kuniyuki Yamashiro daijo fujiwara kuniyuki 2. KUN1898 1661 -- Bungo ju yamato no kami fujiwara kuniyuki see shinto-hen p251 -- does not seem to match your sword's signature 3. KUN1899 1954 -- Hoshu hita ju honsho kuniyuki saku bungo hita ju tosho kuniyuki saku see TKp226 -- this does seem to look like your sword's signature but it is a small image. Does your sword look gendai? later david mcdonald Quote
