need help with full translation of Minamoto Amahide tang

[Petersan]

Hello to all,

 

I need a full translation on this tang, all I know it is signed by Minamoto Amahide for an order of mr Suzuka ? and perhapd a date under it? I am curious if there is a date at all on it or you perhaps could give me an about date when it was made, I guess early 1900 ?

Thanks in advance.

regards

Peter -

You'll need to post better higher rez photos for folks to work this out - someone here familiar with his signatures may figure it out but I really think it will need a better photo...

Although I cannot decipher several kanji in the mei, I think that the customer's name is Suzuki Shoun (鈴木照雲). There is no date description in the mei.

 

My guess for the whole inscription;

源天秀應鈴木照雲師需作之

[Petersan]

hello, thanks for the info, here is a couple of more pictures, unfortunately the forum does not allow too large pictures and the mei is pretty long too.

Any idea of its age about?

regards

Peter

Maybe WWII era in Seki.
