  1. Thank you guys! Now time to. dig into this maker more. Thanks for the translation and lead about where he worked.
  2. Matt, With humble gratitude! Got it! How sure are you of your translation? 95%, 90, 80, 70...???
  3. Excuse me, the third enhancement did not turn out at all once uploaded! It is much clearer in my original enhanced version, but worse here! Let me see if I can do that again and fix it... I see what to do... when you open these two images, resize your window to a smaller window, and it does come into better focus. Thank you, Greg.
  4. Thank you very much Matt and Peter for your quick responses. I have tried enhancing and cropping some of the images, and attached them (did not htink of that before!), does this help? So, am I getting this right...? It says, "芸州住源綱慶作" = "Geishu ju Minamoto Tsunayoshi SAKU"? Or, is Matt saying it ONLY says "Geishu ju Minamoto Tsunayoshi," without the Saku at the end? Any consensus on this translation, as he did also say, "I think." Also, I do not understand the following, "only that signed this Tsunayoshi," which I assume to mean "the only one that signed his swords this way, Tsunayoshi, worked in Kanbun, Hiroshima area," is that correct? Thanks folks, Greg.
  5. I would greatly appreciate any assistance on translating the characters on this Nakago please. I do have more images I can post if needed. I have also altered some of the images to make the characters easier to read, however, they are too large to post here. Thank you, Greg.
