  1. I see what you see, now! Thanks.
  2. Thank you Bruce for the reply. Is the "palm tree" the p y you referred to?
  3. Good afternoon. I am trying to decipher this family crest?, on a friends parade sword. Thank you.
  4. Good evening. I would like to thank all those that responded to my inquiry, as well as all who read it. I have been given information that has helped my friend answer a question. ROKUJURO, STEVEM, Chris and Markus thank, you very much. This artifact that I have had the opportunity to research, has been eye opening. Myself, and the caretaker (owner) would not have the knowledge of its history without all involved in this forum. Thank you. Michael J. McKie.
  5. Good morning. I have another photo of the label that I hope is better. As for the last character on the tang I have taken another photo as well.
  6. Thank you. So Daiminkyo is the swordsmith? Is there a database of swordsmiths that I can research? The owner of the item is blind so I am trying to get as much information as possible in written form.
  7. Good evening Steve. Thank you for your help. The last character as I am looking at it resembles 417. I know that is not what it is, but is there something in KANJI that might lead you in a direction? I hope my terminology is correct, I do not mean to offend. Thank you, Michael.

  10. Thank you Steve. Thus was brought home from Japan by the owners father. He was In the Pacific theater during WW2 and has other items as well. I will look at the label and see if I can get a clearer image of both characters Thank you for your assistance.
  11. Good afternoon. Thank you for responding. The only translation I have been able to do is the label that says 132, Akira Takahashi. I will see if I can get a better photo of the tang. It is very faint. Is the kangi the makers signature? Thank you.
  12. Good afternoon. The sword pictured is my friends and I am trying to translate the signature. I appreciate everyone's input. Thank you.
