Hi experts! I am eyeing this sword for my husband’s birthday :-)
It was made in Showa 16-year August. The sword also has a common Showa Tang. Didn’t see any other mark. So far, I was able to decipher the followings (or so I think - pls feel free to correct me). Kanji that I cannot make out are marked as ( * ). The last four characters refer to “Yoshihisa made this”
紙和( * )安来( * )吉久作之
Appreciate your help!
Thank you
