Nidai Yasutsugu

Dear Samou31,

The signature reads:

康繼入道於
yasutsugu nyudō oite...


以南蛮鐵作之
motte nanban tetsu saku kore

Only the second generation Yasutsugu signed 'Nyudō'. He also had similar horimono carved on his swords. If the signature is genuine, I would guess it's his work.

Polishers

Hi SAMOU31,

I would recommend Tony Norman (UK). You may find his contact details here. Also, Zenon Van Damme in Belgium.

You may also find few more contacts in Europe, but I don't know anything about quality of their work, please do your research carefully before submitting your sword:

Massimo Rossi, in Italy, officially recognized as a togishi by the NBTHK
massimo.togishi@libero.it

Jean-Claude Dusehu, in France
