Hi Maximillian,

 

The first paper reads as follows:

 

杢目図鐔

 

Mokume theme tsuba

 

銘武州住正次

 

Mei Bushu (Muzashi) ju Masa tsugu

 

延享五年

 

Fifth year of Enkyo (1748)

 

木瓜形

 

Mokko gata

 

鉄鍛目地

 

Tetsu kitaeru me ji? Forged iron ground - I'm not entirely sure of the reading of this bit but I think the translation works.

 

小透

 

Ko sukashi

 

角耳小肉

Kaku mimi koniku (slightly rounded square rim)

 

Kind regards,

John

Hi Maximillian,

 

I'm sorry but I can't find the mei on the second paper and perhaps someone else can chime in. The rest is as follows:

 

 杢目文様図大小鐔

 

Mokume mon pattern theme dai sho tsuba

 

 

大小銘 ?? (花押)

 

Dai sho Mei ?? (kao)

 

木瓜形

 

Mokko gata

 

鉄鍛目地

 

Tetsu kitaeru me ji - forged iron ground

 

打返耳

 

Tsuchi kaeru mimi (hammered back rim)

 

Best,

John
