    Good evening to all. Attached is a jpeg of a mei that I need a little help with the first name. I believe it reads as XXX Mitsu Resident of Bishu Province. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Edward G

    Thank you Ray, you are a scholar and gentleman. It looks like a dead ringer for the 2nd generation TadaHiro. My friend is pleased with the translation. Many thanks Edward G

    Good evening to all attahed are pics of an old katana a friend of mine has. It appears to possibly be Shinto Period, with a straight temper line, unfortunately very tarnished blade. Toward bottom of the Mei might be a Toshi, Nori, and then Motto. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Edward G.

    Good morning to all: I have a friend who recently obtained a sword with a grass signature. It is very difficult to translate. I am hoping that someone can tell me what the inscription on the Katana says. Many thanks in advance for your assistance. Edward G

    Good morning to all. The attached photos are of a 21 inch cutting edge Wakizashi. The mei is somewhat obscured at the bottom, to me it looks like possibly Ari Tsugu a resident of Bitchu Province? The rest is in the middle is unreadable for me. The only Smith in Hawleys with this name from Bitchu Province is ARI 210 & ARI 211 What are your thoughts? Edward G

    Note the elaborate engraving on the sideplate, hammer, and trigger guard. Having trouble translating the kanji on the underside of the barrel. I can make out a few of the characters in the middle as maybe Kuni Tomo Maru, but that is it. Please help with the translation. Edward G

    Good Afternoon all: Please help with the translation of this old Wakizashi Gunto. I think I have the makers name correct, but I am lost on the province. It looks to me like the swordsmith is Kane Sada and he maybe a resident of Echizen. Any thoughts? Thanks Edward G
