There's a translation section that would be more appropriate. You'll get a quicker response there.

The wooden tag perhaps. Ueda-shi Suwagata 上田市諏訪形 Maybe Nakabayashi  中林 Yagasawa Kiyokazu 柳澤清一  (reading?) John

BTW the tag mentions Muneshige in kanji and English. John

Sean, that's a nice thing.  Congratulations.

 

All the best.
