Kanji on Tsuka

Recommended Posts

Wow, never occurred to me before that a owners name or his mon name was written on the tsuka end. Amazing! Can anyone read these tsuka names for me?

Love to know if these two of mine  are the owners name or his mon name?

First is numbered 2 and has a name or mon name?

Second is numbered 199 and has a name (Ojima)? or mon name?

Thanks...

 

Edit to add ....just remembered that this second tsuka with OJIMA / OSHIMA / or? written on it cannot be the owner of this sword because the real owner's name and rank were written on the blade with a fountain pen by an Aussie when he got the sword....it is 2nd Lt Kume...so not OJIMA or OSHIMA or ?...not sure why a name is written there, maybe the shop guy himself?.

Hope the other number one pans out to make some sense...
