Translation Help On Two Wwii Bringbacks.

[Logan09]

Looking for help on the translation on these two swords. Both were in gunto mounts(what is left of them) Thanks in advance.

[Surfson]

First one is old samurai:  Yamato Kuni Nanto Ju Fujiwara Masa Tsugu

Second one is modern WWII Masahiro

 

At least those are my best guesses

[Ray Singer]

Hattori Masahiro. Showato.

Thanks for the replies, any way to date the first one? Thanks

[PNSSHOGUN]

The first should have a date on the other side of the Nakago.

[Ray Singer]

The first is purporting to be a Kanabo blade (I believe) and may not be dated. While I do not see that exact mei, an authentic Kanabo Kasatsugu would be Muromachi.

Gordon Robson is generally the person I would think to ask about Kanabo.
