sz_waldmann Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Hello, I would like to kindly ask for help with this T.K. paper for Koshirae. I figured out the date: Showa 52 year 3 month 20 day (20. March 1977) Could somebody please read the important part for me? Thank you, Szabolcs Quote
Gakusee Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Perhaps worthwhile spending a bit of money on a professional translation? Markus is the go-to provider: https://markussesko.com/translation-service/ Quote
sz_waldmann Posted June 11, 2019 Author Report Posted June 11, 2019 Hi, absolutelly! I would pay for that. Markus did a few translations for me already but right now he does not have time... as I understood it will take some time until he takes translation jobs again with his work in the museum now. thanks, Szab Quote

Brian Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 Steve, you should charge $5 to charity for stuff like that Quote
vajo Posted June 12, 2019 Report Posted June 12, 2019 Steve is allways here when he is needed. One of the good spirits on the board. 3 Quote
