benatthelake Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 Can anyone help on the translation of this paper?....description and signature, any age info, etc. only please. I know I know.....Darcy has said Green Paper = No Paper But still nice to know what it says. Best regards, Ben Quote
uwe Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 Ben, too late for me this evening... But at a quick look, your tsuba is signed "正秀作" (Masahide saku).... Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 Ben, I think Darcy's comments applied to blades, not tsuba. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted January 24, 2020 Report Posted January 24, 2020 No mention of age. Line One: 菊水透鍔 Kikusui sukashi tsuba, and as Uwe says, 銘正秀作 Masahide saku. Line Two: iron ground, 'round' shape, niku-bori and sukashi, (I think...) (Given Tokubetsu Kicho in Showa 51) 1 Quote
benatthelake Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Posted January 24, 2020 Thanks to you all for the clarification and translations. Ben Quote
