Hi Brian,

As you are new here you probably are not aware that Bob is a well known expert in the study of Nihonto and his experience spans decades. If he has given you suggestions then take a moment to follow them and contact us again when you are sufficiently prepared. That will allow us to give you the best possible advice. Remember, the difference between a $500 sword and a $5000 sword is in the details.

Kind Regards,
Stu

If you are able to get a photo of the mei (signature) such as the one I've posted in this thread...See post number 2...

...it will go a long way to enabling us to determine which smith and from what era. Many had the same name, some at the same time, so a visual of the way they signed is important.

I noted your other forum post...FYI...the name should be read in Japanese not Chinese. Same kanji different meaning.

Regards,
Stu
