chard Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me what the symbols on my sword mean? This is an officer's sword from WWII. I hope the picture is good enough for you to read. Thanks, Robert More pictures are added below. Quote
Stephen Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 you cant add last pix unless you start another post, four per post. one shot of all the kanji together would be better than extream close ups. Quote
chard Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Posted April 27, 2013 Here are two other picture I hope will help. Quote
chard Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks Stephen. I'm new here and am trying to figure this out. R Quote
Stephen Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 maybe a Mod or Admin will move to TA for a sooner look, last two look to be Norimichi? Quote
chard Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Posted April 27, 2013 Is Norimichi a maker or a factory in Japan? Quote
Stephen Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 seki stanp so factory made showato. Not 100% n Norimichi, Chris or George or others will give correct translation. Quote
cabowen Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 Kojima Norimichi factory made Seki blade. Quote
chard Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Posted April 28, 2013 Well, I'm glad it is a Japanese blade but I'm disappointed it's not hand made. This is my first purchase and I'll do better next time, thanks to what I'm learning from you guys. Quote
