Thank you so very much for the input. It is in poor state because the picture was taken immediately it was taken apart after many, many years. Do not worry, it will be carefully cleaned and looked after. Best wishes Stephen

All help with a translation of this signature on a Ken blade wiould be gratefully appreciated. I appreciate the inscription on the right is largely unreadable because of the rust. I am really after the name on the left. THANK YOU
