Hello.
I am new here. Recently I bought one blade. I was told it is Ko-aoe from Bitchu.
There is Tsuguiye written on the mei. My question is simple- is there anybody who has an image of original Mei of Tsuguiye ? I am searching for it to verify if I am having gimei or not.
If it was not gimei, the blade would be good, created in old Kamakura, by one of the twelve swordsmiths who was summoned by Gotoba the emperor on 13st. century. (more info look for "Ichimonji" )
Of course I would consider that fact very much:-)
I know there is Toko Taikan but I have no access to this book.
