ROKUJURO Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 John,both MEI are not readable to me. The first is too small, the second is not focused. Please try again, vertical position/tip up makes it easier to read.. Quote
Johncstroud Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Posted July 26, 2016 I,ll post another easier to read. Quote
SteveM Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 豊祐作 Toyosuke saku I think this is your man here http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/11358-new-member-seaks-help/ In other places there is the suggestion that the second kanji is 佐, but I think 豊祐 is correct. 1 Quote
