Need help with Mei translation

[rendylatief]

Hey guys, I've tried to translate the Mei in the attached pic through http://www.jssus.org/nkp/kanji_for_mei.html

But being new at this, I've only been able to translate the last character in the mei.

And I think its 廣: "Hiro", but I'm still not sure about it as well.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks a lot guys.

Hmmm... not sure how much help you want/need. Inside the spoiler is the name, still in Kanji, which might help you to look it up more easily...

Yes, that is just what I need to learn. Thanks.

So, if my newbie translation is correct, it reads "Go Tou Kane Hiro".

Is this correct? :D :D

Dear Rendy

 

It might be better to type Gotō Kanehiro

 

He worked in the town of Seki during WWII period

Hey David,

I'm sorry for the mistyping, I'm new at translating kanji. :D

If he is a Seki showato smith, doesn't his blade include a serial number or a stamp of some kind?

Because from what I read, he is one of the smith that provides blades for the war isn't he?

Because this blade does not have any stamp or serial number, just a mei and a green paint. :?

Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm new to all of this Gunto and Showato thing. :?

Thanks again.
