Nihonto |
Any help appreciated in translation of this signature and possible era on a Wakizashi.Photo attached (I hope) |

My dad has owned this wakizashi for some time now. We've been looking at symbols but honestly don't have a clue what's going on. Yes that's paint over the symbols courtesy of my dad's "enhancement". The blade was "cleaned" in the 80s with something like 450 grit sand paper. |

Hello all! I want to thank the admin for allowing me to register here and ask for assistance! I've been trying to research this blade for the past couple of weeks, and while I have learned a lot, and gotten what I suspect is some pretty good information from a couple helpful souls on other forums, I'm still no closer to figuring out the Mei or general timeframe of this sword's history. |

Hi, I'm looking for examples of katana by Sadanori. Google hasn't turned up much so just wondering if anyone here has one, or any pictures of one? |

Hello everyone. First, thanks to Stan who accepted my membership. Some days ago, I found the site web Tokugawa Arts Swrod and saw this Nihonto http://www.sanmei.com/contents/en-us/p1878.html I immediately fall in love with it: perfect measurements for me, nice curvature, beautiful koshirae, almost mint condition. For a 28 years old nihonto, it is well conserved. On top of that, this is a Noshu Kanehide's late masterpiece a few years before his death. For information, the Gunto that Mr.McCartney Russel used to perform his Geness record Senbongiri was forged by Kanehide as well. |

I'm trying to send a sword from Ireland to England, does anyone know a courier company that will handle swords? I've tried UPS, DHL, Fedex, and TNT so far and just got a flat no from them all. Cheers. |

Acquired a blade last weekend and am having little luck with the mei. Any assistance would be appreciated. |

Hi All, My apologies for very slow response to your issues with file upload. I've been away from home for the last 2 weeks with limited connectivity options. You should be able to upload pictures up to 2M in size each. Regards, |
