Good day. I had great success with my 2 showato. I thought why not see if you all may be able to help translate the writing on a kagami(mirror) and the base plate on a hibachi. Thank you very much.
Thank you @John C, I concur. The other blade that @xiayang translated to read Kunihiro, does not have an arsenal marking. However, it does say October of showa 18 so that would date it also to the wwii era I would presume.
Thank you everyone who have responded so far. The darker handled one has a small mark. It also has some signs of white paint on the side without an inscription. The lighter colored handle one does not have any small marking on it. I have added a few more pictures. Thank you.
Good day. I have 2 shin gunto. One has inscriptions on both sides. The other just on one side. I would appreciate any input regarding translation. Thank you very much.
