Goodness me. I don't know what 下山次郎 can mean. John

Good morning all,

 

Could it read:

 

下山 Shimoyama

次郎 Jiro

 

 

Cheers

Might it mean, "Made in China"? I think a good photo will help us decide what you have; can't be too certain just from your drawing.

Hum ok sorry i have a good picture.

 

I hope the katana isn't a real Japanese sword!

But i prefer to be sure.
