WW2 showa stamped sword surrender tag

[phil reid]

Sorry Gents , not sure if this is the correct  spot to ask but have just received this WW2 sword and very curious as to what's written on the cloth tag, cotton and a bit brittle so trying to show as much as possible without damaging, 

 Regards Phil (photos of tag if anyone was curious also).

Apologies if on the wrong part of the forum

 

 cheers Phil

Do you already have a translation of the date and smith name?

Kane "something"

and made in the '40s, but can't see enough to get the full date.  The Showa stamp puts it likely in 1940, 1941.

Seems to be “兼氏” (Kaneuji) Bruce!

Thanks guys!  Another one for the Stamp Survey.  And I'm going with 1940 on that date, unless you see more than that.

Hi Phil,

Date seems to be KOKI 2 thousand 6 hundred NEN, which is 2600 years since the foundation of the empire = 1940.
