Looking for a translater for Japanese field gear items

[substandard]

I hope it is okay to post this in this forum, if not, then I apologize and please remove the post.

 

First, this will be for commercial purposes, I operate a pawn shop and had a WW2 Japanese canteen and cleaning kt come in to the store. Both are inscribed with writing. I would like to have these translated, one because it would naturally help sell the items. However I am also a history and WW2 buff and my own curiosity has gotten the better of me.

 

If anyone would be interested, please contact me and let me know the rates you would charge. I can send some hi-res images of the writing. Thank you.

J.....?

Post the pics, and let's see what you have. If a simple job, I am sure you will get a translation from one of our incredibly helpful members. If a complicated one, I am sure someone can give you the gist, or you can buy them a few beers. We don't as a rule charge for any translations.

Thanks Brian. I didn't want to post any images until I knew for certain that it was ok.

 

The canteen is marked on front and back

 

 

 

The cleaning kit has something stitched in the back

 

 

And the oil bottle also has an inscription that I imagine is the soldier's name (?)

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I can give a translation of some of the phonetic (katakana characters) ones:

 

black oiler: Ohomura

green canteen: top two: Suka/Suga (I can't read the kanji)

stitching: ikeuchi

 

1st and 3rd are possible last names, not sure about the canteen...

The top canteen pic kanji read Ikeuchi. The single kanji before this looks like maybe Masa (personal name Tadashi?)

The bottom canteen pic reads in kanji "Hatsutori Katsutoshi hin" (this belongs to Hatsutori Katsutoshi) hatsu might be pronounced tsutsu or tsuzu

Interesting group.

Thank you Kaigunair and George for the translations.
