Hello friends! Can someone please assist me with the translation of these blade markings? Thank you! Matt

Hello friends, At the coin shop from time to time people bring things in. This came in today. I'd appreciate your comments. Matt

Thanks Brian I appreciate the input. Do you think these would be from that same mid-late edo period?
-
Thanks! I wanted to get them checked out as they came off of a sword with an mid edo blade and tsuba in WWII mounts. Matt

Here are a few more detail shots after I lightly removed some of the gunk.

Hi gang! What can you tell me about these menuki? Thank you! Matt

It is possible I noticed the black as well. I thought it might have been painted. Matt

Brian, Yep... That's the gunk. I will be trying a gentle cleaning to remove it... But I didn't do anything to it before I posted it. Any idea what school or period this strange thing comes from? Thanks again! Matt

Brian, Thanks for the reply. The sword that this came off of was in very bad shape. What you are seeing in the 4th pic is just a dirt/rust combo and not flashing. I didn't want to clean it too much before I posted the pics. I can't see any seams. As far as the inserts go... I don't think they are soldiered because there is a little wiggle or give in one of them but its still securely in place.

Thank you and sorry. Matt -

I came across a sword that was a WWII vet bring back... but has been stored poorly and played with over the years... the blade was in bad shape, the scabbard was split, and the grip was damaged badly.... However the one attractive thing on this piece was this Tsuba. Can anyone help me ID it? Thank you! Matt
