Japanese Swords Made In China During World War II
BANGBANGSAN replied to Kiipu's topic in Military Swords of Japan
Thomas I found this book " 抗战时期日本对天津的经济统制与掠夺” It worte:1940年前后,日商在天津设立了昌和洋行工厂、安原铁工所、西山铁工所、天津钢业工厂、天津制铁工厂、东和工厂、恒升机器工厂、鸿发铁工厂、义昌洋行、小松洋行、得利兴、三井铁工厂、中岛机器行、天津机器工厂等15家工厂。 So,it is 恆昇 instead of 昇恆。 -

Could be a person's name, If so it should have the family name in front of it, like 李昇恒 or 王昇恒, etc...But this most likely just put two words together and wish the business long-lasting.昇(上昇 Rise)+恒(恒久 Constant). But Chinese normally would use 恒昇 instead of 昇恒. -

Thomas I have a few photos of 村上治久, it didn't show the full tang, can't tell if there is an M mark on the tang, but can see the 東 and the shop marks on Kabutogane.BTW: The handwriting of 村上治久 is very similar to 武久。 -

That's the problem I am always aware. If there is also Kanji instead of English only would be much easier for people to know which smith.The same kanji can have a few different pronunciations. -
