Sword ID and Info Request

Request for help identifying smith: Setsu no Kami Hiromitsu 摂津守廣光

Hello everyone,

I’m hoping to get some help from the community in learning more about the smith associated with a sword I recently purchased.

The sword was bought from a dealer in Japan and is attributed to Setsu no Kami Hiromitsu (摂津守廣光). According to the dealer, the details are as follows:

Period: Northern and Southern Courts Period (Nanbokuchō)

School: Sagami-den

Possibly connected to one of the disciples of Masamune

Sword id

Hello Freinds,

Found this at a flea market and wondering if anyone can help me identify.

New Member, Looking for help with sword identification.

Hello, I recently acquired a sword that I was told dated from the 1670's-1680's. Unfortunately I neither read or speak Japanese and my area seems to be lacking in people with any knowledge of the subject of antique swords.

I was also wondering if there is anyone in the U.S. capable and qualified to do a proper restoration, as you will see from the photos it isn't in what I would call great shape.

Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Help translating tang signature

Recently inherited a sword that my greatgrandfather acquired during his time in the pacific during WW2.

Trying to get a translation of the tang signature.

There is:

1) A small symbol with finer lines, sort of hard to see.
2) Three larger symbols.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Marc
