dnmmilo Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 G'day Guy's, I've had a crack at translating this but I'm not sure if I've got it right. I've attached some pictures and using the Kanji pages in the research section the nearest I can get to is: 為 Tame 盈 Mitsu Trouble is I can't find a smith with the same name. I've attached some pictures of the original inscriptions and would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me with both. Cheers David Quote
Stephen Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 think the first one is Kane, could be wrong. Quote
dnmmilo Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Posted September 25, 2016 Thanks mate, do you reckon I've got the second one right Quote
dnmmilo Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Posted September 25, 2016 Thanks Mate, I'm getting a bit closer every time. Have you got any idea what the other inscription says? Quote
Grey Doffin Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 Showa Ni Ju Nen Ichi Gatsu (January of 1945). These Showa-to smiths had terrible handwriting; they aren't easy to read. Grey Quote
dnmmilo Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Posted September 25, 2016 Cheers Grey, it's worth the effort to try though. When I do eventually get one right I'll be made up, fair dinkum. Quote
dnmmilo Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Posted September 25, 2016 Does anyone know anything about a Showa era smith named Kanemori, I can't seem to find anything definitive on him? Quote
