Well, Chris, the photo looked like it might be part of a tsuba, so I checked all the possible readings of 家朋 against the (limited) Kinko lists that I have here, but drew a blank. Thus I cannot answer that question, sadly. 


As to the first character(s), I am flummoxed.

Thanks a lot for your afford Piers.

 

The good is i learned a new word - flummoxed! :laughing:

 

I tried to find out it in my books and the old ones like that from the oeder collection. But i failed.

Yes, the first kanji on the tsuba doesn't look like 遊 . Actually I can't tell what the radical for the first kanji is supposed to be.

Sanzui? Shinnyō? Kind of looks like both, but the balance seems way off for sanzui, that's why I was thinking the radical was shinnyō and the whole kanji might be 遊 (sometimes used in art names). But looking at it again, I think my first idea was wrong. I don't know what it could be.

No problem Steve i appreciate your help much. Thanks for it.

I'm total confused about myself because in all books i didn't found nothing. 

I got the tip from Ray to search in the seiruyken direction. But i failed too. Nothing similar there.

 

And without knowing what it is written i didn't know where to search else.
