Gene....Can't at this stage comment on the "wheel" but am awaiting a reply from Steve, so may have further info later. Wall space? What wall space? Since the quake we have mother in law staying so every spare bit of storage is full. Even have trouble getting to my display cupboard!

Well mate, at least having your mother in law staying is concentrating your mind on weapons
No wonder you've been buying so many recently.


Seriously though. I'll be interested to hear the results of the translation

Very difficult to decipher the writing. Other photos might help.

Please get me a picture that would include both sides with writtings on them. And I'll get it translated for you

Thanks. There is a pic of both sides at the beginning of this post and also a pic of the back of the hilt. Sorry I am not clever enough to combine the two pics in one, so hope that what's there will be OK.

if it was readable I would not have asked for a another one, oh well.
