BRUNROX Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 Greetings !! I found an interesting Katana in Gunto mounts at a local gunshow, with a blade thats just in "Ok" condition, but has no arsenal stamps. So I'm thinking it's a Gendaito, problem is .., of the four Kanji I can only make out the third one which I'm pretty sure it translates to "Sada". I am completely stuck on the other ones. I would very much appreciate any help from the Forum members in any assistance provided. The second picture shows a close up of stamp that I have never seen before, any clues ? Best Regards, Mario P.

Bruno Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 has no arsenal stamps I see one, a partial Seki stamp. Otherwise it looks like Sadakatsu. Quote
cabowen Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 Seki stamp Nakajima Sadanaga Not a gendai-to. Quote
BRUNROX Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Posted June 13, 2012 Thank you very much Bruno, and Thank you very much Chris..., what threw me of on the stamp was that tiny "Leg" to the left of the first square.., even if it was a mistrike , there should be no reason for that half-square to be there. Also.., could not find any reference on "Nakajima Sadanaga or Sadakatsu".., any hints ?? Thanks Again. Best Regards, Mario P. Quote
