Sukeharu? on a Kaigunto

[Bruce Pennington]

Just like to confirm.  A guy over at THIS GUNS.RU THREAD, who seems to know his stuff, translated it as Sukeharu.  Can't find a WWII smith by that name in either Sesko's list or Slough, so wondering if the google translation of his translation is correct.  Thanks!

Same inscription that is in this thread below (only the inscription in the linked thread is executed a bit more nicely in my opinion). 

必勝　茂三郎助治　Hisshō    Shigesaburō Sukeharu

Thanks Steve.  I was just puzzled because both Sukeharu in Marcus' book used  助春  rather than 助 治, but both of them were well before WWII.

 

Thanks for the help!
