Hi Guys,
A friend asked me some information's about a Japanese sword. But it's far - far East - from my expertise. Could you help him? Is anyone good enough to translate the inscription? Thank you Kubur |

Hola,Kubur,
After putting the words(盛常) on YahooJapan and searched it,I believe it is the name of the bladesmith,since that indeed is a common(?)name of Japaneses. I am affraid of that is all information I have though.Have very little interest into Japanese weapons and not able to read Japanese. Wish your friend get better help&information. |

You will also need to turn the pictures upside down as kanji are read with the blde uppermost and the nakago(hilt) at the bottom

Thank you all
As i said I unstand nothing about these swords. I'm not on the forums mentionned because it's not really my interest... If I understand Mori tsune Japanse blades are like Assadallah Persian blades??? Copies of copies to keep a prestigious name??? |
