newbie - help please in translating 2 mei

[adventurer_900]

I am trying to translate the inscriptions on a couple of blades. One on a katana that I recently received and the other on a katana that I was for Iai. I'm new to this but think that i have the date for one of them. Any help would be very much appreciated.

The one I've called War fan, because of the tsuba design, I think is "A day in August 1939"

 

I hope that I have done the pictures correctly as this is my 1st post.

Hey mate,

 

First one reads:

Higo Kuni ju Akamatsu Taro Kaneteru saku

That's your shinsakuto for iai I presume

 

second reads:

Noshu seki ju Kanetsuna saku

Showa 14 (1939) August - you are correct

 

 

Hope that helps
