Edward G Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 Good Day to All: The pictures of this handle are from a really neat acquisition a friend of mine has. No sword just a handle. The Fuchi and Kashira are very unusual though. I thought others might appreciate it's old world iron quality. I am not sure what the religious symbols indicate.. If anyone out there could shed some light on the meaning of these symbols, I would appreciate any thoughts on the translation of the religious symbols and also some help with signature. Thanks Edward G Quote
