Nobody Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 於東都大宮八幡宮? Oite Touto Ohmiya Hachimangu ? (At Ohmiya Hachiman Shrine in Tokyo) I cannot identify the last (9th) character, but it could be Minamoto (源). It seems that the name after that was lost. And, I am not sure, but the tanto seems to be a repro using a broken tip of a katana to me. Quote
