I apologize for interfering!
The following is written on this sword:
大明萬歴年製

"Great Ming Dynasty to rule for ten thousand years!"

Ren Ren, THANK YOU!! I was having difficulty getting accurate translation of that panel. This makes good sense considering the context of the Eight Trigram rebellion,
Very much appreciated,
Jim

Jim, this is my pleasure!

I agree that this inscription in context indicates that the sword belonged to the anti-Qing rebels.
