Grey Doffin Posted January 28, 2016 Report Posted January 28, 2016 Hi guys, Can I get help with the sword below (which might be for sale)? I get parts, like the date (Tenpo 6) but some of this has me stumped and I could be wrong about the rest. Thank you, Grey Quote
Ray Singer Posted January 28, 2016 Report Posted January 28, 2016 Hi Grey, please see below: http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/6632-a-humble-request-for-translation-help/ 因藩騎士建部半右エ門源政信 Kishi Takebe Han’emon Minamoto Masanobu 見龍子壽幸 Kenruishi Toshiyuki (Yuki partially cut off) Tenpo Roku X (alt. for Nen?)

Grey Doffin Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Posted January 28, 2016 Thanks Ray, So Toshiyuki is the smith; who is Masanobu? Grey Quote
Ray Singer Posted January 28, 2016 Report Posted January 28, 2016 I took that to be the owners name. I maybe wrong, but I cannot locate a smith using that name. Perhaps there was a bit more information lost in the suriage. Best regards, Ray Quote
