Grey, Are you saying Yoshitada was not an accomplished swordsmith? Here I thought I had a real treasure on my hands! LOL!!! Thanks, Phil

Tom, thank you so much for your translation.....it is much appreciated. Quick question: I think I see what is referred to as a "Seki" stamp just above the smith's signature. It is really hard to make out. What does this signify? Does this mean the sword was machine made? Could it have been handmade by what is called non-traditional methods? Another gentlemen who supposedly does appraisals told me my sword was handmade. Your thoughts? Thanks again, Phil M.

Hello all....I am a new member with little knowledge of Japanese swords. I have a Japanese Katana sword that I inherited from my uncle who I believe brought it back from WWII. I've been reading quite a bit about these swords with most of it being over my head! I was told I needed to remove the handle to see if it was signed and was able to do so without damaging anything. I would very much appreciate some help in translating the markings on both sides of the tang (see attached photos)?
