Am I correct that it simply reads "a lucky day in August"? It just seems very odd to me as many of the dates that I have seen are August, I believe it has something to do with the "ideal" temperature for quenching the blades naturally occurring around that time. I really would think that an era would make a lot more sense as that would be a much truer indication of when the sword was made. If you were going to abbreviate a date, would it not make more logical to omit the August, as opposed to the year? I think that August would be assumed if abbreviated in this manner.

Hi Guys, I am a bit confused by this one and any help would be appreciated. The kanji on one side of the tang appear to be almost two diffenent styles of writing, almost like a dimei piece, but are just one consistant line of kanji, not two the I would think would be a dimei signature. On the other side, all there is are three characters that I believe read "a lucky day in August" What the heck is that, no era, nothing above it, and it doesn't look like there ever was. Any suggestions?
