1 Attachment(s)
Hi,
i get a wakizashi with a subscribed blade. This one seems to be shortened in older times. Here is the inscription wich i tryed to draw. Has anyone an idea how the signs are correct and what they mean ? Is there a swordmaker who could be identified ? Photos from the whole piece will come a little late, i promiss Dirk |
Dirk -
Need a clear photo or good rubbing (oshigata) before even thinking about translation. Can't make out anything from the drawing. Sorry.

Hello,
here are the best pictures i can take with my camera. Hope it will help. Blade length is 59 cm at all. |
It's definitely part of the sword smith's signature (mei), but has been partially cut off (suriage) and is too rusted that I can't translate what is left. Sorry I can't be of more help.
