SteveM Posted Monday at 01:10 AM Report Posted Monday at 01:10 AM My guess is 安秋作 （Made by Yasuaki). But I can find no such metalworker in the Wakayama index. 1 Quote
uwe Posted Monday at 05:27 AM Report Posted Monday at 05:27 AM Guess it is “安親作” (Yasuchika saku)… 5 Quote
DanielM Posted Monday at 01:04 PM Author Report Posted Monday at 01:04 PM Dear Steve and UWE, many thanks for this translation...Soshu script is not easy...i have also asked AI (chat gpt and gemini) one answer Munemasa and the other MitsuShaku....i think the second and third kanji is most probably Chika Saku....as far as the first one is concerned....Yasu seems a good guess....let us see if we receive other answers again many thanks for your help Daniel 2 Quote
SteveM Posted Monday at 01:36 PM Report Posted Monday at 01:36 PM Uwe is correct. Yasuchika saku. 4 Quote
