    為” (traditional Chinese) and “为” (simplified Chinese) are two forms of the same character. You are right,the inscrib one the tang should be traditional Chinese "靖國為和平“。

    Takeuchi (竹内) is a Japanese surname. Although the name literally means “inside bamboo,” here it is simply used as a family name. 軍刀報國第四一五號 竹內第二號 Military Sword for the Nation No. 415, Takeuchi No. 2 may indicate that this is the 415th case in the ‘Military Sword for the Nation’ movement and the second sword donated by the Takeuchi sword shop?

    The “Military Sword for the Nation” Movement (Japanese: 軍刀報国 / Guntō Hōkoku) was a wartime mobilization campaign in Japan during the late 1930s and early 1940s. It encouraged civilians, organizations, and local communities to donate money or materials to produce military swords or sale the blade to army for officers use.

    Without the 堂 It’s hard to say if it was from Hyakuren do. I notice the tang was re shaped.

    Also note the term 「調製」 in the advertisement, which represents “Adjusting”.

    高橋兼行 (Takahashi Kaneyuki ). The hot stamp百鍊（Hyakuren/Hundred-Fold Forged)belonged to 百鍊堂刀劍店 (Hyakuren-dō Tōkenten). This shop was a designated supplier for 豐橋陸軍預備士官學校 ( Toyohashi Army Reserve Officer School).

    Steve, thank you for your reply. This is exactly what I wanted to point out: the “調之” ( adjusted it）in the mei of that earlier sword has the same meaning as the “調製” (adjusted) from Okada Guntō Shop on this wood liner. That sword’s mei should read “石德 調之” (Ishitoku adjusted it), rather than interpreting “石德調之” as if Ishitoku Shigeyoki were the full name of the swordsmith.
