DirkO Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Hi, I'm having some problems translating this mei + date : This is what I think I have : 備州長船 Bishu Osafune and then it goes a bit hazy. I'm guessing Nagamitsu ??? I'm also having problems with the jidai : I think it starts with 永 - Ei Date and month are easy :-) Any help please ? Quote

Guido Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Recently I'm seeing quite a few calls for translation assistance that turn out to be connected to live auctions. Guys, there's an appropriate section for this (where I moved this thread), no need to sail under false colors! Quote

Guys, there's an appropriate section for this (where I moved this thread), no need to sail under false colors! Sorry Guido, that wasn't my intention! I just thought they had good close-ups of the tang, so I thought I'd have a go at the translation... Quote
