nihonto1001 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 This one to me looks like Seki Hiromitsu. I just want to see if this is accurate before I sell it. Interestingly, it has sanbonsugi hamon. I have not seen that before in WWII Seki School works. Thanks. Quote
John A Stuart Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 It is Nobumitsu. Maybe Seki Sako Nobumitsu saku, not sure of the second kanji. John Quote
David McDonald Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 Dear John I think the second kanji is ju So Seki ju Sako Nobumitsu saku? But I looked in John Slough's book and he has Seki Sukemitsu Nobumitsu saku 関祐光信光作 This signature is listed as Nakirishimei later david It is Nobumitsu. Maybe Seki Sako Nobumitsu saku, not sure of the second kanji. John Quote
Nobody Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 John is correct. 関佐光信光作 - Seki Sako Nobumitsu saku Ref. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9638&p=79823&hilit=sako+nobumitsu#p79823 Quote
cabowen Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 Interestingly, it has sanbonsugi hamon. I have not seen that before in WWII Seki School works. I have seen sanbon sugi rather frequently in WWII Seki blades.... Quote
nihonto1001 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks folks. Apparently, this is the second Seki Nobumitsu to pass through my hands. I found this one at a local Garage Sale. He even threw in a bicycle.LOL Quote
Rich S Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 Jon - Depending on the age, condition, make and model of the bicycle, it may be worth more than the sword :-) Old bikes can bring very high prices. Rich S Quote
nihonto1001 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Posted March 16, 2012 Hi Rich Yes, I know. For many years, my bike was worth more than my car. My Dad and I were big into Mountain Biking. The old bikes are nice and highly collectible. I think there is even a special auction for them. I'll stick with swords though. Maybe I'll just ride around with my Nobumitsu and see what Law Enforcement has to say about that. Quote
