Translation Sword Box Lid

[Kwakernaak]

Hi collectors,

 

Was hoping I could get someone to translate the writing on a sword box lid. I have already posted a post about this sword and box in the military sword section. Would love to know the full translation of the text. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance, Peter Jan.

Gunto,  Shikito (?) commander's sword .軍刀指揮刀 There is the 并'put together' 'assembled'.

[Bugyotsuji]

And the name looks like 竹中重三  Takenaka Juzo (sometimes read as Shigezo?)

[Kwakernaak]

Thanks all for your help. Seems that the box was meant for a sword, and likely this one. 

 

Kind regards,

 

Peter Jan.
