samurai1 Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 Hi, looking for help with translation of plaque with arrows and think description of type of arrows. Very appreciated with with help. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 That one is relatively easy to read. May I ask if you are wanting to buy this? I do not wish to influence someone's sale here. In other words, do you already own this, and are you looking for a translation and nothing more? The description offers a rough date and a general background to these 'special order' iron pieces, including three arrowheads, but nothing specific about them. Two makers' names are given at the end.

samurai1 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Posted March 10, 2021 Thanks bugyotsuji for your help I was told the to items on the bottom were rope cutters? I will reconsider my option on items. Quote
Brian Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 Bottom 2 are NOT arrowheads. I suspect this blacksmith was showing what could be made and those are agricultural tools. The arrowheads above that are nice though Quote
