hso Posted February 4, 2021 Report Posted February 4, 2021 All, Thank you for your wealth of knowledge in translation and identification. I've referred others here because of your skill and the gracious way you've helped. I have a friend that has the swords I'm going to post. Since I have no skill in translation myself (I should rectify that) would you be so kind as to assist. Thank you in advance, Mike Quote

SteveM Posted February 5, 2021 Report Posted February 5, 2021 I think you are right for all of these. For the Kanekado, it looks like 一月日 (ichi-gatsu no hi) January 1 Quote
