Such exercises are better prevention of dementia than solving crosswords

Because I do not know Chinese, I am forced to limit my defences to NYT mini crosswords:-(((

Thanks so much for your help. These might be better photos.
I have not succeeded yet with rubbings, but have manipulated the photos as best I can. If possible, please translate the lower character (not sure what it is?) Anything that can be deciphered would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

I was really happy to help you. And I will continue to do what is in my power.
The character in the photo below is similar to an imitation of a traditional Chinese seal - a square in which four characters are inscribed. The bottom two are similar to 州邠 Binzhou - the same inlay work on the blade, but in a mirror image (the usual order on old Chinese seals and many other inscriptions). |
