matthewbrice Posted October 23, 2023 Author Report Posted October 23, 2023 Thank you so much Ray as always! Very kind of you to help me. I am just about to post a request for another translation Ray. That one is an older wakizashi. The signature looks pretty 'chippy' to me (make me suspect gimei). I think Kunihiro--but I have difficulty with the rest. Thanks again Ray. --Matt 1 Quote
