Unfortunately I can't help you with the translation. But I would like to encourage you to post pictures showing the entire sword. This is much appreciated by the whole forum and is generally considered a rule when requesting a translation.
The sword looks beautiful even from just the detail images you posted. All the best, Iain |

Thank you for advising. I'm not familiar with the forum rules. Here are the pics.
