Certificate Translation Help Please

Hello, colleagues!

Please help me to translate this certificate.

Hi Colleague,

Which part of this 1972 Wakizashi Kicho-token paperwork copy is troubling you?

(I am wondering what the Kanji in front of 銘 Mei could be.)

I don`not know, what written is there?

Is it original certificate?

No. As I said in the post above, it is a copy.

Thanks Guido. Makes sense.

The paper gives the length of the Wakizashi, 1 Shaku, 7 Sun and 7 Bu (?). It says it is not signed but suggests it was made by 正全 from 尾州. It certifies these facts to be true, and records the sword as 'Kicho' rank as a result. Signed 5 March, Showa 47. On the left 'The Esteemed Matsuda Shin 松田　心

Registration No. 233143

Sorry, but I has ,black-white scanner. The original paper is in color (with red stamps).

When was this sword made? Who made it. If I right uderstoond the previous post - mumei Bungo Masayasu. Where can I read about smith?

The original view is here download/file.php?id=31074

Bungo Masayasu (Ishida Kisaemon) was from Owari no Kuni and was prolific in the Enpo period (1673). John

Granit, as I wrote on your other post, there is a Bishu Masamitsu that apparently signed this way, http://nihontoclub.com/smiths/MAS479

I wonder if it is the same smith, double entered because it isn't clear which nanori is correct. MAS 479 or MAS1267 yasu, mitsu (?), haru etc. John

I saw the link with MAS 479. It is very interesting, but I could not find MAS1267?

I wonder if it is the same smith, double entered because it isn't clear which nanori is correct.

Yes he is double entered ... anyhow the accepted in use reading I have seen on various examples is without exception Masayasu... and it‘s confirmed by Moriyama san.

Kazarena, I‘d like to suggest to change the respective entry in the index.
