Nicholas Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 Looking for translation help with this mon and tsuka on this type 98. I believe the mon is a surname. Quote
Nicholas Posted August 2 Author Report Posted August 2 Thanks @PNSSHOGUN always appreciate your help. Quote
Shugyosha Posted Saturday at 07:59 AM Report Posted Saturday at 07:59 AM Hi Nicholas, On the tsuka: numbers on the right (I guess for assembling various parts) - [ ] 六五二 - 652 though there might be one above these, slightly obscured, perhaps a western zero? On the left, in katakana: カケス - Kaketsu which I think means "approved" - at least that's the only sensible thing that came up on a dictionary search, but others might know better. 1 Quote
Nicholas Posted Saturday at 12:43 PM Author Report Posted Saturday at 12:43 PM @Shugyosha Assembly numbers make sense. All the seppa and tsuba are stamped 0652. Thank you for your help. The sword is a custom order by Yoshihara Kuniie for Mr. Miyawaki in blackened type 98 koshirae and shargreen saya. 4 Quote
SteveM Posted Saturday at 03:05 PM Report Posted Saturday at 03:05 PM 6 hours ago, Shugyosha said: On the left, in katakana: カケス - Kaketsu Looks like カケヌ kakenu, something which has been seen on other saya, but the meaning of which is unknown. A few years ago I speculated that it might be a name, but I don't think its a name anymore. Interesting to see it repeated so often. https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/28924-tsuka-mei/ https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/52775-tsuka-kanji/ And... @Nicholas didn't we already see this sword from you a few years ago? https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/46754-type-98-mon-translation/ 2 1 Quote

Nicholas Posted Saturday at 04:42 PM Author Report Posted Saturday at 04:42 PM @SteveM I am trying to put descriptions together for each of the swords I own and I haven’t taken it out in a year and forgot I posted it. @Rawa no need for rude comments. 2 1 Quote
