rebcannonshooter Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 Hi Marcin, the first kanji is "Yoshi", but I can't figure out the second. The date appears to be Dec. of 1943. Tom Quote
Nobody Posted May 18 Report Posted May 18 The chiseled characters on the tang are imperfect because of wear and tear. But I think that the second kanji looks like 継 (tsugu). The name may be 義継 – Yoshitsugu. FYI: yoshtsug.jpg (91×250) 2 1 Quote
