signed sword |
Hello, My name is Josh and I am a new member, and have little knowledge in this area. I own a sword that has been in family for 70 years, from WW II. A research application has been opened concerning this swords original owner, but I would like to confirm the information I am being told. Originally thought to be made in 1800's, writing on the tang now shows it is from Fujiwara Sakon Shougen Kagekuni. The date shows to be 1259 or 1324, being either 1st Kagekuni or 3rd Kagekuni. Is there any way to tell the difference? I also have the canteen of the last owner with writing on it. |

Would appreciate Members views on Photos attached.Have been told translation reads Soshu Ju Sadamune which equates to SAD543.(14th Century).Nagasa is 51cms which is Wakizashi length.However,there seem to be no signed pieces in existence by this swordsmith so is mine a "fake"?Any advice appreciated. Cannot upload photos for some reason.Continual failure to upload,even though says photos successfully uploaded??? Photos can be seen on Ebay if enter 111398331155 into search.My apologies if this breaks Club rules but uploading photos should not be so difficult as this!! |
