Signature - Smith Unknown?

[vajo]

I tried to translate this signature.

But it makes no sense. 

 

There is no smith with this signature.

 

What you think?

王見 might read Ōmi, but I couldn’t find any smith by that name either. The province is Nōshū 濃州, btw.

Hello Guido

 

Noshu ju yamaguchi omi kore saku

 

Is that so correct?

 

Mystery signature...

 

Omi is a island at the Yamaguchi präfekture. Noshu is the old name for mino (province) now Gifu?

 

This signature is maybe not the name of the smith - mumei?

 

Thanks

王 is Ō or Kimi

見 is Aki or Chika (mi May be an option too, but I don’t know that one but trust Guido)

 

It’s a name, but I can’t find the smith, so it may be a family name and not his smith name.

Thanks Joe,

 

maybe that picture could help? The guy says it is a gendaito (civilian mounts).

Looks like gendaito. I checked the Seki smith list but can’t find him. Very possible to be undocumented.
